201 – The Power of Reading #FaithBites #FaithJourney Read This morning, while getting ready in the shower, I looked at the hotel shampoo and conditioner.

193 – Where Do you Get Strength From? #FaithBites #FaithJourney #FriendRequest Strength What does it mean to be strong? Is it a physical attribute? Maybe it’s a mental or spiritual attribute.
