The Blessings of Sponsorship
As I’ve said before, sponsorship is so helpful for me in recovery. This is something I want to share and hope that it helps my friend as much as it helped me to come to some of these conclusions for myself: On Sun, Sep 12, 2010 at 9:49 AM, <my friend> wrote: Nate– This email […]

“He did deliver them because they did humble themselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him” […]
