Not original to me. Pastor Matt came up with this as his morning devotional. Thought it was a powerful reminder during these interesting times.
Lamentations of Jeremiah 3:22 & 23 "It is of the LORD"s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassion's fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."
The verses behind the song "Great Is Thy Faithfulness". A great song (I know....LOL). I can hear it in my head.
You all have a good day, On Purpose!

A few years later we participated in bombing a country that we weren't at war with for, at best, dubious reasons.

You could say I was bitter.

Doesn't take away from the fact that I feel for those who are in despair for their years of life and the lives of friends changed or ended by what at best was an holding action.
Stay safe today.
Well. We are coming out of a deep freeze. Election year in the states to our south (and a good chance of an election here federally). The...
