My friend, Greg, had another great post this morning re: forgiveness. So come on over to Greg’s Watering Hole today and take a sip of his brew. It’s straight from the Living Water!
I occasionally receive an email inviting me to take a “consumer survey”. I signed up for a couple of these because no one has ever called my home asking for my opinion and I happen to think that my opinion may, in fact, reflect “middle-road-majority” America. Today I received a survey asking numerous questions about…
Book reviews of From Sorrows to Sapphires by Angela Williams and Terrible Things Happened to Me by Tom Scales The Church was designed by Jesus Christ to be a hospital for the ill and dying. Some people come and need support groups and rehab; others need intensive care treatment. Jesus is in the “miracle business”….
Another day of grocery shopping…another day when never having to walk in Walmart again would lower my blood pressure by at least 10 points and take me to a whole new level of happy. The obvious reasons that I keep going to Wally-World are the convenience of food and so many other items all in…
