DAY 39 OF 365 IN 2021 I am very familiar with the simile "as white as snow".

REST A WHILE
DAY 37 OF 365 IN 2021 Mark 6:31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. There are systems in place for when one spends a significant duration of... Continue Reading →
STOP PRETENDING
DAY 36 OF 365 IN 2021 Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

DAY 20 OF 365 IN 2021 Mark 3:1, 2 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
