Christ’s peace be with you. After reading the Wednesday, February 5, 2020 😎🐫🎤 message, a follower and coworker stopped by my office Friday morning and said that I needed to read the Our Daily Bread message for Friday, February 7, 2020.

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you.  In two weeks it will be one year that I’ve been at my job.  I’ve been told repeatedly, by multiple people that for those who are willing to stick it out, it will take about five years to become comfortable in this position.  It’s been extremely challenging for me,Continue reading “Wednesday, February 5, 2020”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you.  2 Kings 4: 1-7 shares with us a story of trust.  The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord.
