At one time or the other, all of us probably felt at a disadvantage. I’ve felt like that in the past, and I still feel like that in some areas of my life. When it comes to technology, I feel at a disadvantage to my grandchildren. They seem to know way more than I do…
If you read last week’s message about what to do when our minds are filled with worry, then you know that I’ve been struggling with fear when it comes to finances. I know this is what the enemy is using to attack me, so I’ve been praying for the Lord to open my heart and…
