(Praise God that people were able to understand and connect with my jumbled … More my (updated) answer to the college question
I realize it has been awhile since I resolved to sit down and write for this blog, which I also consider part of my ministry. Shame on me for being a slacker. Life has just been, for lack of a better term, weird. In the middle of August, I took on the role of “borderline-adult Brooklyn”; a … More a little messy
