You know how they say it’s never a good idea to hold things too tightly? It’s probably good advice. This blog “experienced technical difficulties” last week (That’s how WordPress said it), and I’m grateful for my hosting company that helped me address the challenge, but for a while I just wondered…. And remembered again that—…
Esau, did you know?
