I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:”
Proverbs 25:15-21 KJV

David recognized this, and proclaimed it. And every day, we have the opportunity to do the same.
Here are 2 practical ways that we can respond to ...
