“So what do you do when you feel dead on the inside? What do you say to your loved ones when they feel this way?

Upon The Death Of A Grandson

Phillip Jensen mourns his grandson. “I prayed that God would take my three score and ten years in place of his less than one score. But it doesn’t work like that.
