It's become a little bit of an internet gag... the quirky selfie with the hashtag "blessed" because of whatever good fortune someone has enjoyed. While this can often just be silly fun, it does point out that we all long for the "blessed life". But what does Jesus say the #Blessed life looks like?...
On Tuesday, September 29, 2020, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, my grandfather went to be with his Lord. He helped to raise me and played a huge role in my life. I didn’t realize the hole he’d leave in my heart even though he lived in my home country, Trinidad, and I have been living in...
