February 2, 2017 by Debbie 4 Comments

Often in times of greatest need, we may find ourselves giving way to the stress and strain by battling one another, and forgetting who the real enemy is.

There’s a thief in this world. He's cunning and evil, deceitful and cruel. And he’s on the prowl. Maybe hot on your trail, even today.
