Keep Picking the Weeds

Posted on May 8, 2023May 5, 2023 by James Williams

I wipe the sweat from my forehead with my dirty hands as I look with a feeling of accomplishment.

However, many of its prey are larger or faster, forcing the lion to compensate for these disadvantages through strategy and patience. Generally, it’s the lionesses who hunt to…

Reading Through Leviticus

Posted on March 6, 2023March 3, 2023 by James Williams

I’ll See You in Heaven
