3 Methods to Fill Your Life with LIGHT
Everyone talks about BEING the light. But here's the thing: that job is already taken. Jesus is already the light. It's not our job to create some phosphorus substance so that we can glow. It's not like we're glow sticks and we have to rush around to get the good...
How I Met Gracie Parker
