SHE GAVE ALL THAT SHE HAD
Mark 12:38-44 Jeff Davidson Things were not going well. Not well at all. She was tired. She was worried. She was under a lot of stress. Some people age gracefully. Some people move from one part of life to the next with all of the ease and all of the beauty of the changing of…
