DESCRIPTION: When is the last time you thought about the health of your soul? If we are honest, we don’t think about it much, if ever. Being unaware of the condition of your soul is a dangerous place to live. It’s like driving a car without ever checking the fuel gage, the only time you notice is when your car is on the side of the road.
