Every morning while I get ready I listen to music and normally I start my day out with some praise and worship music. The other morning I was listening to All The Pretty Things by Tenth Avenue North and it was quite some time since I listened to this album. Look at all the pretty… Read More All The Pretty Things
My last post mentioned how my emotions have been all over the place and it’s such an unusual spot for me. I’m finally in a very uncomfortable spot. A good uncomfortable spot.
