Is that a true statement in your estimation? Wether it is or not, according to Jesus you ARE winning.   Scripture tells us in numurous places that this is a true statement. The fact is, we have a choice to believe it or not. The way we act will depend on what we choose to […]

Yesterday afternoon I was purging our office files that I’m pretty sure based on the things I found have been purged very little if any in decades.
