Psalm 131 – a calming prayer.
I have had a stressful couple of days. Dealing with lawyers, deceit and injustice. Coupled with study commitments, my wife and I coping with the flu – the joys of the weekend seem to fleetingly far. Tonight I picked up the Bible … Continue reading
Rick Warren is no light weight!
