For Such A Time As This
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

A Deep Love… My Version of Events
February 4th, 2020 The week of 2020 when I originally wrote these articles was very quick. I literally wrote them late into the evening after going over them with as much as a fine-tooth comb as I could.

My Silent Prayer
Heavenly Father, only You can give the comfort that my beloved Grandmother needs at this time.
