Posted on July 14, 2026 by Pete

Solomon pled it. The LORD established it. Rehoboam tested it. I’m chewing on it. Repetition. It again rules the day (or at least it’s what catches my eye). If you want someone to get something, then tell ’em what you’re … Continue reading →

Write It Off

Posted on July 18, 2023 by Pete
