green…

The length of her legs reaches to about my eyelids and her hair hangs at the side of her size 2 waist. She has to be a fitness coach, professional dancer, or super model because really, who looks like a Grecian goddess at 5:30AM? She and I have history. Oh boy, do we...

wings…

One of the great and wondrous themes of the Bible reassures us that God is our refuge and fortress, our shelter and protection, our strength and covering in times of danger.  He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge (Ps 91:4) The...
