Our Emotions Serve a Purpose
I’ll admit it — I can be an emotional basket case from time to time. Sometimes it’s something small — like a touching memory from years gone by. Other times, it’s when I think about the sheer goodness of God or when I get a call from Bryson, my youngest grandchild — who’s currently sailing…
