Lightning and Thunder
I know people who are ceraunophiles; they love the thunder and lightning. I have a friend who loves to sit on her porch during the thunder storms. She thinks the lightning is beautiful and somehow she finds peace in the display of God’s power. I do not. I know God places each bolt of lightning … Continue reading Lightning and Thunder

I have a friend who I depend on to listen when I need to talk. She doesn’t have to say or do anything; sometimes, I just need to say some things to get it out of my mind. I also try to pray…continuously… about what I feel the need to say. Like I said, I … Continue reading Helpers
