When you align with Christ you know you will get safely home
Just in case you were wondering, as of today, September 1, 2024, it is 61 days until Halloween, 89 days until Thanksgiving, 116 Days until Christmas, and 122 days until New Year’s Eve, just in case you were wondering. In between those days are birthdays and anniversaries, umpteen doctor and dentist appointments, which my wife and I like to call, “date days”, and then there are those days that we wonder “How in the world did we ever make it through”, days, but somehow, we did. 09/13/2024 12:06 PM
