After the wait we finally and safely boarded the plane, flying out and reaching New Orleans with a congratulations from the Southwest crew on our mission courtesy of Alexa Musser chatting with the attendant....

The question I want to ask you is, “Which of these two women is more deeply involved in the kingdom of God?” ...

Keep Reading"The Fruit of Kindness" I find myself being overwhelmed with all the information that is being thrown at me on a daily basis.It seems to be coming at me from different places, and some of it is even a bit contradictory.When I think about how it affects the church, it is no less intimidating.For example, there is the number of people who can meet together.What about...
