 Thanks so much and I am very guilty of this but thanks for you sharing and 
having a talk with my Lord last night, I have a better perspective on this 
and I am so blessed to have received this wonderful devotion and thanks God 
for allowing Eric to share these devotions with us each and every day.
God bless,
Felicia
