Last year, I won A Tropical Frontier: Tales of Old Florida by Tim Robinson in a Goodreads Giveaway. It took me a while to get through this book. It’s a collection of stories about a family living in Florida in the 1800s. The stories are told in chronological order.

Despite this being a short book with only 30 verses, there are several lessons we can get from it. Omni The…… Continue reading Why Is Omni Important to Us?
