"And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly." ( Luke 22: 60-62) I've been thinking a lot about Peter today... Peter was one of Jesus's closest disciples, with Him all the time, clearly people would recognize him as a friend of Jesus!

Over the last several months, I haven't posted a single thing on Instagram. I haven't even opened the app (except that one time I logged in to get some stats to a ... continue reading...
