Daily encouragement for Christians

Season fourteen of America’s Got Talent awarded the $1,000,000 prize to Kodi Lee. Kodi was born blind and autistic, a nightmare combination for any parent. At twenty-two years old he took the world by storm. He brought something to the stage that sent the Spirit forth. Standing with his mom and his cane, at his […]
