Demons
I’ve always struggled with depression. I don’t think that will ever change. It feels just like any addiction, no matter what, the outcome is the same. But lately I’ve been thinking. And I’ve found a new point of view. It helps that I’ve been reading my Bible day and night, through and through. It says … Continue reading Demons

Zedekiah didn’t surrender; he stayed in Judah waiting on the siege. And I wondered, do I do the same? Do I try to save face and fear … Continue reading Surrender
