No Matter What, They Will Do as You Do, Not as You Say (Part 2)
The failings of today’s world are the results of generations of behavior Well, when I posted Part 1 of this post, I thought that COVID-19 would still be the big deal here in the United States.

Jacob was theContinue reading “Broken People, Unbroken Promises”
