Sin…We All Do It
Psalms 6:1-2 Please, Lord, don’t punish me when you are angry; don’t discipline me when you are furious. 2 Have mercy on me, Lord, because I’m frail. Heal me, Lord, because my bones are shaking in terror! I sin everyday. I try not to sin and try to do good; but none-the-less, sin, in…
