Sunday Post 43: Fear or Hope

Posted by Danny Last week was one of the saddest weeks I’ve had in a while.  Who knows why?  It could be any number of things. When I get into these down moods, I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking.  That may be what gets me in trouble. This week, it has dawned on [...]
