Family Addiction, Mental Health and a whole lot of Faith
Seven years ago I sat down at my computer and within minutes I typed some words that typically would be a poem- that's what I do. But as I read these words back, I didn't hear a poem, I heard a song. So I sent the lyrics to my worship leaders a thousand miles away …
