Who Are You Waiting For?
I was trolling Facebook the other night. Don’t judge me. You do it too. While on there, I saw a meme that dealt with waiting. It really made me think. Waiting is a part of the Christian faith.

I Just Want to Be Like Jesus
The Conflict of Warfare and Peace My mom screamed, “stop…don’t hit him”, as I chased my older brother around the house with a board.
