The Good Shepherd
In Children’s Church today they used Shaving Cream to make some messy sheep.. Sometimes the Good Shepherd has some messy sheep, but he still loves and cares for us.
It’s Time We Talked

Unfortunately, it wasn’t good for my mood, my blood pressure, or my anger issues. Just scrollContinue reading “No Fear, No Anxiety, Trust God”
