HEAVENLY PEACE
Merry Christmas to my family and friends. May you enjoy the silent and holy night and find that heavenly peace.
JOY TO THE WORLD
Prepare a Place for Him
REJOICING IN REPLY Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around.His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles.The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.” PsalmContinue reading
