HOLY SHIFT! Do you need to Make One?
| Don’t Worry.
There’s an “F” after the “SHI” and before the “T” and, yes, I did it on purpose.

Life with God requires change in God if the relationship is working the way he designed.

I love the guy. So I let on about my reality for Bill’s sake and just swallowed my angst. After mentally placing my precious schedule on the altar, Bill shared with me what’s giving him a spiritual fever.
