What or Who Are You Reflecting?
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Your Life Story Has a Happy Ending
Life has the tendency to side track us, keep us busy, or even devastate us. The more time I spend with my 85 year old friend, Lenny, I am reminded of this.
