Wholly Dependent

Posted on June 4, 2020 by Pete

The double-minded. This morning that’s the hook that keeps me hovering over my reading in Psalm 119. The songwriter hated the double-minded. Hate. We taught our kids that was a dangerous word. A word not to be used lightly or … Continue reading →

Blessed Be the Name

Posted on April 15, 2020 by Pete
