There she is on the right and here’s the quote: Have your heart right with Christ, and He will visit you often, And so turn weekdays into Sundays, meals into sacraments, homes … More Meals Turned into Sacraments
Wednesday is for Prayer I am being raked over the coals by my third reading of J.C. Ryle’s A Call to Prayer: An Urgent Plea to Enter into the Secret Place.
