By Dr. Sarah Williams, LPC, NCC You Look Pretty I opened my eyes and realized that it was 6 a.m. I had allowed myself a few hours of sleep between 3 a.m. and 6 p.m. and yes, I felt guilty for closing my eyes even briefly. My role as wife to the man I married […]

What it Means to Lament: | @trackstarz @intercession4ag

First, I watched the “Jesus is King” documentary, which was essentially a performance of songs edited together.
