I will share about Christian books I have read or listened to.
I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.
Merry Christmas!

Salvation is a turning away from sin in our lives.
We need to confess our sin and proclaim the grace (free gift) of Jesus with his work on the cross.
