Pray When You Are Hemmed In
Why did God curse Eve with loneliness and heartache, an emptiness that nothing would be able to fill? Wasn’t her life going to be hard enough out there in the world, banished from the Garden that was her true home, her only home, never able to return? It seems unkind. Cruel, even. He did it… The post Pray When You Are Hemmed In appeared first on FaithGateway.

But many PR firms had caught on to its educational potential, as demonstrated…
