God’s Ways Vindicated

Today's blog post (and my return from an extended hiatus) is a bit different than what i've posted thus far. Instead of being a personal post, it is rather a glimpse into how i work through a Psalm. i've been working through the Psalms for the better part of a year now. The fact that …
