Even the best of love here on earth is flawed. The only perfect love is God's love. God’s love overlooks our sin over and over and over again.

This past Christmas was one of the hardest Christmases I have gone through in a very long time, if ever. I started struggling with the Holiday Season about a month before it started. It is hard to put into words and reveal all that I ... Read More »
