Why Love is Always in the Air – For Singles and Marrieds Alike on this Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2017 by Kristi 2 Comments

"I love you more than you'll ever know." Dad offered those words to me in late 2015. He died shortly after.

This week we're confessing love, God's ultimate love. Ooo-weeee! It's our memory scripture from last week, rolled out into a confession from John 3:16.
