Then, it struck me: as a child of God, why am I having these… Continue reading Prayer is the Bridge.
Remember the story about the kitten I found in the parking lot? Soon after I gave the kitten to her care, Jana* had been questioning whether she be able to keep him, due to allergy issues.

I sat at my kitchen table and opened my Bible to search for a specific passage. That was months ago. That same Bible has remained open on the kitchen table ever since.
