Imagine you’d been fasting 21 days. You had an issue you were seeking the counsel of God for. Then you have a vision of a man. The people with you don’t see it but they suddenly become so afraid they run away. It may be a hunger-induced hallucination. But then […]
My upper arms have become flabby through age and lack of weight training. Muscle slackness is easy to see, those old lady arms right there every time I even consider a sleeveless blouse. Is it rectifiable? Oh yes, certainly. And I WILL address it, despite my dislike of exercise. Every […]
