The past two weeks proved to be a wonderful, interesting time for me. I felt impressed to take a break from Twitter since that's the only social media I do unless you count this blog. I know Twitter has a bad reputation: "cesspool," "bullying," "unwholesome content," "vicious comments." I see that kind of stuff is … Continue reading On the Shelf

2022 Lenten Photo-a-day Challenge Week 6: April 5 -11
Only questions with the photos this week. TUESDAY, APRIL 5: BRING When you bring your offering before the Lord, do you do it with a joyful heart?
