“James the Just” (per Josephus), Jesus’s half-brother, was known for having knees like a camel…calloused and tough. He was a man devoted to prayer, and his knees reflected that fervency!

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5 Ladies, it was a glorious morning! The sun had just risen, the dew was glistening upon the flowers, and the smell of freshly brewed coffee was under my nose. But what blessed my heart the most was catching a glimpse of a tiny, yellow…
