Lord, Have Mercy!
I’ve heard people say “Lorrrd, have mercy!” as a quick retort when yet another “I can’t believe it” circumstance happens.

How About a Life Changing Walk With Jesus?
Life-Changing: Having an effect that is strong enough to change someone’s life; having a powerful effect; compelling, game changer, unconquerable I’ve loved seeing the Easter photos of families enjoying their Easter celebrations – their new Easter clothes, dinners and egg hunts. It was hilarious watching my 16 and 17 year old grands hunting for eggs…
Spoiler Alert – He Lives!
I have two word phrases today: ~ Good News: Something or someone pleasant, fortunate, or otherwise positive.
