GRAVITY JOHN 6:41-59
by Howard Andersen on September 3rd, 2024
John Mayer captured something profound in his hit song titled "Gravity." It resonated with countless individuals because it reflects the struggle between our desire to do more, to be better, to love, and to be loved, versus the reality of doing less than we’re capable of and feeling the sting of love unexpressed. This tension often gets blamed on gravity. But let me ask you: could the solution to ...  Read More
