Read More King Jesus Says – Do Not WorryAbram is a real guy. That’s certainly what we can derive from what’s written about him in scripture. It takes faith to trust God to leave his family.

Read More The Necessary DaysSome songs I remember because they remind me of growing up. This is one of those songs. Yes it was sung in the local church, but more importantly I remember both my parents singing it with a passion and a reality that still chokes me up today. What my Mum and my Dad took as […]
