Pancakes

Pancakes.
Pancakes = happiness.
Would you agree?
Think about it. When do you eat pancakes? You eat them on Sunday mornings when your dad makes them in the shape of Minnie Mouse. You eat them at 3 in the morning with friends at IHOP.

An unfortunate death

This morning as I was reading the book of Hosea, this verse struck me. God is speaking about the Israelite’s unfaithfulness and ungratefulness to all He had provided for them:

Captivating book review coming soon
