@sampowell365 Ok I plead guilty of being a dog eager BUT it is still absolutely, hands down one of the best books I have read in years. Thank you @truthovertribe_ your book has opened my eyes to so many things. But primarily God has used it to strengthen my faith. It is a beautiful book.

@JackieHillPerry It is a beautiful moment. β€οΈβπ₯ Haters gonna hate, they can go jump. I am glad u posted this. I am comfortable enough with my faith I can rejoice with someone I disagree with on some points. And the very fact this picture was taken at this place is cause for rejoicing!
