Hello!
I welcome you to my blog. I am passionate about the things of God from a Pentecostal perspective. I will be posting 3 times a week or more on lessons I’ve learned, observations I’ve made, all in hopes of being an encouragement.
As I am just starting out, I do not have my full set of objectives in place just yet. I just know that I love to write and communicate on the Love of God. More to come.
