    “While the world celebrated love, I was trapped, terrified, and losing my baby at the hands of someone I thought I could trust” What devastating words to read. What an awful thing for anyone to face. We are rightly horrified at the Epstein files, but this hits even closer to home. The Letterkenny Circuit Court…

    John Flavel lost 3 wives, and at least one child. He knew a thing or two about suffering. Yet as you read his writing, he is full of joy. He exemplifies the truth of one of our Proverbs for today: “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” (Proverbs…
