DO NOT WEEP. BEHOLD, THE LION

The situation seemed hopeless. No one could be found. No one. No one who could do the one thing that needed to be done. The one thing that would set things in motion…that would set all things right. So he wept. And wept. But then… Someone said to him the simple but powerful words thatContinue reading “DO NOT WEEP. BEHOLD, THE LION”
