You’ve heard somebody say it. Or maybe you’ve said it. Or something like it. Something like this, “Well, back in the Bible days _______” Fill in the blank. Sound familiar? Don’t feel bad.

My best friend talked to me, today, about faith and hope and love and evidence. Those conversations tend to be one-sided. But I prefer it that way when we get on those topics.

A few days ago, I shared a little backstory to some lyrics by a friend of mine. Cristina also wrote more lyrics that she sent me to look over.
