Jesus, Yesterday Today A book title caught my attention and started me thinking about how the progression of time changes things from new, to old and outdated. Things such as the smartphone were once novelties, now they are commonplace and old technology. I remember when cellphones were a new thing. Back in the late eighties,... Continue Reading →
Adversity
