I want to talk about something I feel God has been challenging me with lately. Before I begin, I first want to let you know a little bit about me. I am not a theologian. I don’t have any credentials to be talking on my subject other than my observations […]
The clink of jewelry as it slides down a woman’s wrist. The smell of fine perfume upon entering Macy’s. The sound of heels clacking with sophistication across a hard floor.
