    Christians in general don\’t pray enough- at least we don\’t pray WHEN we should. I\’ve come to the realization that the vast majority of us are just not very timely \’pray-ers\’. Sure, we\’re great at bringing God the big stuff- we\’re okay at bringing God the little stuff, but I\’m not sure how effective we…

    Over the years the Father has brought more ladies into our little group. Women once alone, alienated, isolated, abused, broken, sinful… you name it… women set apart, pulled apart, living apart.

    For Those Who Ache I imagine you feel like damaged goods. Like what little was there to start with is now irrevocably tarnished.
