The Family Secret – Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Anyone who has been raised in a family environment has his or her own share of family secrets. These little tidbits of reality are usually best kept within the small circle of family. For some, these family secrets are dark and hidden in the recesses of the mind. For most of us, these secrets are light, spontaneous, perhaps a bit embarrassing, and often downright funny.
