I have a reputation. A reputation for not engaging with anyone who attacks the church. It’s like if you came up to me and started correcting, criticizing, complaining, interrogating, and exploiting every one of my husband’s idiosyncrasies? How do you think I would react? No, my husband isn’t perfect. My guess is, your spouse (if you […]
When It’s Time to “Just Be YOU”. And UNITE Linky
