I once read that God removes people from your life because He heard conversations that you didn’t hear. It’s funny how the truth always has a way of eventually coming to light, even if it’s several years later. I’m speaking of betrayal and the toll that it can take on you over time. It’s like […]
Little known fact- I’ve always been fascinated with anything pertaining to the science of space- the last frontier. The older I get, the more I realize that science, philosophy, and spiritually are inextricably tied. In fact, ALL things are bound together in some way, shape, or form.
