The peace I felt as I considered the idea is hard to describe.
Anxiety is a bane to many souls on this earth. Dealing with anxiety can involve changing our long-held thoughts and beliefs. What is sin? The definitions that some have of sin are a source of their suffering. -gw
Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value.
