Daily devotions were not always a regular thing for me. Yes, I was hungry for the word, and would read it. But I never really knew what you were supposed to do with it. When I came to Christ, there wasn’t anyone around to show me how to read my Bible or put it into...

I don’t even remember where I was anymore. But I do remember sitting with a woman, years ago, and sharing with her about things that were going on in my life and things that I had been through. I don’t even remember who she was, the memory is that vague. But I do know...
