Read More She Saved My LifeI was considering today some of the people God specifically put to save my life. Let me qualify that.

Read More Who Has Saved Your LifeI don’t talk often. I talk at work – it’s what I’m paid to do and I do that to the best of my ability. I have banter with my colleagues and I’m texting quite often when the football is on. Yet for all that I really don’t talk often. By that I mean, I […]

Read More Prayer PonderingsI remember watching this comedy sketch and making a note that said I’m sure car salesmen wouldn’t behave like this to get the sale, but I’m not too sure about church salesmen.
