Dryden Shorts: Solid Foundations

Every morning their Mum would call them together. They knew the drill. Have you washed? Brushed your teeth? Let me check? Brush them again. You know you can’t go out and let people smell rotting breath. OK, open your Bibles. What does it say? What does it mean? Remember your prayers. Then they were allowed […]

Set An Example

No pressure. The Apostle Paul must have been an interesting fella to work with. Imagine.
