Struggled with a migraine headache off and on all week. Asked for prayer last night at Bible study for it to be gone by today. So thankful I woke up pain free.

January 29, 2019 How to Free Yourself from Bitterness But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.  Matthew 6:15 When Terry Anderson was taken captive by a guerilla group, little did he realize that he would be enduring what no one should ever be subjected to. Anderson, age 40 at the time, had been the chief Middle-East correspondent for the Associated Press. Soon after he was taken captive, he was given a Bible by his Shiite Muslim captors, and for the duration of his four-and-a-half-years of captivity, he drew strength and hope from the pages of this grand old book. At the most difficult times, he said, "My faith kept me from giving in to despair."  It was also that relation with God that enabled him to forgive the very individuals who had deprived him of his freedom for more than six years. "They did great wrong to me and my family," he said, but instead of hating them, he explained, "I don't hate anybod...
