“Anger Management” Dear Friends, I am writing this letter, so that you understand that I am facing ‘giants’ and need encouragement, more than that I need prayer. It is amazing how when you start out with a project of confessions, the routes taken are unexpected. I am writing these BLOGS not for sympathy or to […]
