Following His Path To Something Beautiful

Tonight is the night before Good Friday, and I have been doing a lot of thinking of what events that happened the night before Jesus died on the cross, especially in regards to what happens in the garden. Here my thoughts, on where I want to find myself tonight.
Any of you feel like you are fighting right now? What are you fighting? Name it... Here is what Charlie's distance learning taught me about making sure I am going to the right sources for truth, and what to do with the things we are fighting...
