God's Antidote To My Busyness

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Dec 8, 2016

If Jesus is my shepherd I have peace when I rest in His presence

Last August, speaker and author Rory Vaden posted this on Twitter: Saying “I’m too busy” is the adult version of saying “The dog ate my homework” I think he may very well be right.

It involved the sons of Adam and Eve. And I know that we can get caught up in a lot of questions around this story. We are ...read more
