You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 NIV I've struggled with writing a devotion recently. I've been mentally and emotionally wiped out after completing the...
"Throw the ball, 17! Show 'em what you've got, 17!" For seven innings a lady yelled, without stopping, at the opposing team's pitcher and their batters. I was exhausted by hearing her yell for seven innings. Do you know how much energy is required to do that? A part...
