Never and Every

May 2, 2023 By Verna Bowman 1 Comment

At the beginning of each new year, hopes are high.  It's the January mix of thinking we can do what we set out to do - it's tricky how a calendar page can be that powerful.  But the real power is the hope we have with the beginning of a new day or in the darkest night because of the coming of Christ.
