Days 20 and 21 were grace days so I just finished reading the first part of the Gospel of John for day 22. I know I sound like a broken record but I was blown away by reading John. The passion of Jesus is clearly seen in the first 10 chapters. Here’s a verse that jumped out at me early [...]

Again and again Paul talks about how he’s praying for folks. He also tells them to pray at all times and to always give thanks. I pray a good bit but I think [...]
