Setting Captives Free

Published on April 16, 2007

33 days ago the Lord led me to this website ! When I first arrived I was thinking that it was bogus and it wasn’t going to work! You see, for all of my life I’ve struggled with looking to food for pleasure. It’s been a long standing joke that […]

More on Nana

Published on August 19, 2006

The Saga Continues
