Project 365 – #011 This is a picture of a magnet that is on my fridge. It was a gift from my stepmom. I look at it every time that I walk into the kitchen. It’s a beautiful reminder to me on even the toughest of days. This post is part of 365 Project.

Mornings and Evenings with Spurgeon Charles Spurgeon is known for his no-nonsense style devotions. His devotionals are thought-provoking and fluff-free.
