The Summer of My Discontent
It’s been a week of ups and downs. I prayed with a woman at a store a few days ago who had a shoulder injury. She wasn’t healed. I went home that night bummed. I expected her to be healed and she wanted to be healed, but she felt nothing the three times I prayed with her. So I grumbled at God before I went to bed. I’m aware that she might have been healed…
Circle K Healing
