Mission Accomplished 1/11/2023 - I’m a fan of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series. I like it because a complex plan comes together against the odds. In December, season three was released, binge worthy streaming during the holidays. After watching the last episode, an analogy came to me of how the Holy Spirit operates... Read more
