Weight of Glory

I’ve been writing this blog for eight and a half years. As far as I can remember, I haven’t missed a week. (Well, maybe one or two.)  Each one was by God’s grace and faithful enablement. But this week, I couldn’t seem to pull a good article together. So please give me grace and enjoy…
