Great. When you hear this word, what comes to mind? Perhaps something large in size or stature or amount. It can be used to describe force or intensity (positively or negatively). I'm thinking of the positive today: Because if we [...]
"Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?" I don't always use the word foe in my every day vernacular but I just like how this is stated. A foe is any enemy or opponent, and in [...]
