Peace In Difficulty

“You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day.” (Psalm 91:5, NKJV) The sound of our youngest grandson crying/screaming/hollering in the night … it was not the sound any parent and grandparent would want to wake up to hear!  Rushing in to his bedroom, it was […]
