Devotional Catch-Up Again
Wow so because of some Christmas excursions and appointments and life I am putting these together. Both are heavy topics.

Wonder of Christ Day #7
Another big day in the Star of Wonder Devotion Book. Understanding has been revealed between this day and on Angela’s added material from Facebook. You think sometimes you know enough to be saved and get through life, but seriously going through this study has been eye-opening. Today she helped us to see the truth about…
