I learned a valuable lesson yesterday.  God has a sense of humor and loves to make me sweat. Do not pray for patience!  <—-never again will I utter the words, “Lord just give me patience.”  He takes that as a challenge……… Potter is on a sleep-strike, I am not sure if he’s getting teeth; fighting [...]
