I found an old favorite wristwatch. It has long stopped working, and I never got around to replacing the battery. I finally pried it open and saw how easy it actually was to replace the battery. So I did it. I found the right kind of battery in my grocery store about $3, and with […]
Freedom from Fear
Perfection and fear walked hand in hand in my life, but they weren’t mutually exclusive. I wrote about striving to be perfect yesterday, and it was because I feared rejection by God and by people.
