A Decade of “Retirement”…

I recently was at a gathering of good friends when one of those friends made what I’ll call a very wise analogy showing how faith works. There is the seed. In order for the seed to grow, it must be planted. The soil must be dug and the seed deposited at the appropriate depth. OnceContinue reading “A Seed of Faith”
