Posted on January 8, 2024 by apronheadlilly

Worth Fighting For

Posted on January 4, 2024 by apronheadlilly

I started in Joshua for my Bible reading to start the year. Once again, I was reminded that God gave the people of Israel the land across the Jordan, but it was not a passive gift. We just had Christmas … Continue reading →

And So I Wait

Posted on July 3, 2023 by apronheadlilly
