Playing the Waiting Game

Do you know how to play to win the waiting game? When I was a child, along with my two siblings, there were times where we had the ‘joy’ of accompanying my parents to one of the homes of their friends. Their friends didn’t have children our age. This was the time before electronic devices […]

The Choke Hold

Recently I had the privilege of sitting in on a small prayer meeting.
