Christmas Eve and Weather Outside IS Frightful!

Finished
I wish I had put down the date I had first started my study of Psalm 119. But, today I finished. It wasn’t any scholarly work, but a devotional journey that deepened my hunger for the Word. I kept my notes in a comp book and ended up with over 300 pages of notes. It has been an incredible personal…
