Testimony: Forgiveness

I have a testimony or two; one is a search of forgiveness and the other is a search of thanks.
Testimony: Forgiveness.

I am who I am; I am a Christian!

My parents. Is this why I like photography and to goof around?

What does it take for me to be live up to being who I am?
Not a thing; I am who I am by birth.

Has America Condemned Herself?

But the air didn’t stay fresh for long. Continue reading →
