Letting God Heal Your Hurt
I'm baaaaaack! :)This is a devotional I wrote going on almost two years ago.

Then I saw this weathered and much older looking bark on this tree, and I *had* to stop to take another picture:I had never, ever seen a tree like this one, so I *had* to take a picture:Well, I actually took two, because, like I said, I've never, ever seen a tree like this before. I've felt like this before though, like almost all the bark is gone.When I ... Read More about Me and The Trees
