Trust In Him At All Times

Thinking About Living And Dying
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 We enjoyed visiting with friends this evening. Eating brisket that was on…
