    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 4, 2024
     | 745 views

    When sorrow comes, how do you handle it and where do you turn?

    When Sorrow Comes Pastor Claud Lowe D.D.L.S. When sorrow comes, most turn to alcohol, drugs, sex, or suicide. None of these give real relief. Of course suicide is permanent and seems like the answer. It isn’t and never was. Sure it’s the easy way out but the result is forever and deadly. When ...read more
