Praying the Psalms~Psalm 15- When Christians Hurt You.
I just turned 40 this week. The big 4-0. But, I still remember a conversation from a decade ago that I had on my 30th birthday with my hair stylist. I took my Bible in to read while having my hair highlighted. They make you sit for like 20 minutes with those highlight foils in …

God of all comfort
