Tuesday and Wednesday

Yesterday my keyboard AND mouse were dead. I charged them for hours because they do not have an indicator of their power like a cell phone.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
