Wed // Grit :: Committed
Title: Keep your commitments Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this – Psalm 37:5 Personally, one of the things I dislike about technology is how easy it is to be non-committal. If we don’t want to go to something, we can just text someone and tell them we […]
