The Giving Keys: Hope, Love, Dream, Fight, Believe
My whole life, I’ve prayed, God, I want to feel what You feel for people. Break my heart so I feel for people exactly what You feel for them. Little did I know where that would lead me.

But, apparently, in this part of the country you don’t want to go near water without them. You just might find a Copperhead attached to your ankle.

He doesn’t have anything to his name — just a passion for life and for boxing. He gets paid by… The post Don’t Take It Easy appeared first on FaithGateway.
