The B-I-B-L-E

I wanna do it!

Healing To Your Flesh And Refreshment To Your Bones
So, for several days weeks, I've been sick. I've been sick through my anniversary, a couple of my children's surgeries and procedures, and now it looks like, going into yet another surgery with my daughter- I'm still sick. Hospitals don't really appreciate sick...
