Make America Truly Love Again
Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad. (Proverbs 12:25 NKJV) When I have my morning coffee, I often read and today I read Proverbs 12:25. Once it was read, I had to stop, because it dawned on me that I didn’t agree with it. True enough, anxiety…
