BATTLES>the war

–Don’t be misled by this title, just read on, please.– In my eyes, battles are the small (or large) fights within the overall war that produce the end result that the war is deemed as (victory or loss). In life there are many, many battles that we fight. Both spiritual and physical battles require our strength […]

hope

Do you ever feel like you are just running around, always out of time, always in a rush, always anxious to catch up to everyone else? It’s a sad reality, but I know that I do, and as I look around I notice that a lot of other people look as if they feel the same way. […]

Hello world! Welcome to The Serpent Dove!
