2:169 – I’ve Got 99 Problems, But The Lord Ain’t One #faithbites #faithjourney problems I have many issues I could complain about: health, work, family, religion, politics, and the list goes on.

2:26 – A Bad Day Doesn’t Mean You Are A Bad Person #faithbites #faithjourney person Today has not been a good day. Between my knee of fire, grocery shopping, shoveling, trying to keep the house clean, cooking, valentine’s day shopping, and more, I’m done. I’m angry that my knee is worse than it’s been.
