Hebrews has always been an interesting book of the Bible since we don’t know who wrote this book. I finished reading Hebrews a few months back and I’m still mulling over Hebrews 12:1-2a (NLT): Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of…
Overwhelmed
I hear so much about how everyone is glad to have 2020 over and how they’re done with the year. Yes, this year has been long, but I still can’t believe it’s over. I feel like we lived in a murky vacuum of time and as much as I know…
