Deep Breath….And Release

Soapbox Time
Sometimes I read something and I know immediately that I must write about it, but I’m so taken aback by what I’ve read that I sit at the computer and just stare at a blank Word page completely paralyzed and unable to convey”¦anything. Such has been the case with Christian Exodus. Their mission statement taken […]
