Being Persistent Takes Persistence
Here’s another day of coming out from under my “mighty woman of God” rock and I’m going to boast about some of my weaknesses. I’m following St. Paul’s lead with his powerful words of advice. He said: “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in…
Kanye’s Thirst Was Quenched
I’ve been following the faith journey of Kanye West.

Welcome to my Wild Frontier!
