“HE ALSO BROUGHT ME UP OUT OF A HORRIBLE PIT”

That’s the line written by David some 3,000 years ago in Psalm 40:2 and also what God has done for me! Yay! I’ve been in a terrible rut lately, but by the grace of God, I’m slowly getting myself back together like a REAL SOLDIER. This life is not easy, but that’s where a relationship …

EVERY CONVERSATION WITH MY BROTHER KEVIN MAKES ME STRONGER AND HAPPIER
