On Christmas, we celebrate the coming of our Lord and Savior to earth. And with His coming, we gained the understanding that He is pleased with us – even when we prove ourselves to be less than desirable. In life, we can do things that make us feel undeserving of the unconditional love of the […]
Allergies are a part of many peoples’ lives. They can be a minor inconvenience or life threatening. Allergies can be common, like allergies to peanut butter, or a little bizarre, like grass and sunlight allergies.
