If you’ve been following along with the weekly blogs, you know that last week my wife, Tammy, wrote a blog titled, Misalignment. Knowing her intimately means that I have a front-row seat to seeing what the Holy Spirit is doing in and through her. It’s truly beautiful because it is a living manifestation of God’s […]
