When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those …
I haven’t been sick for awhile. Of course, I get sick right before Thanksgiving. I did take a covid test. Thankfully it was negative. I’ll be taking it easy this week, drinking tea, curling up with a blanket, and reading. Naps are in my near future, too. I’ll leave you with a familiar verse. He …
