I like quotes!
I like to read what others have said that’s of significance; it doesn’t matter if it’s Christian or of a secular nature.
Some of my favorites include Will Rogers.
He was a political satirist in the 1920’s.
Some of his best remarks are: A fool and his money are soon elected. Continue reading →

Okay, I just have to make a comment about it!
When I was growing up I could easily get in trouble with mom by sticking out my tongue.

The news stories increase every day about distracted driving.

I know how much discipline it takes to read the Bible. Continue reading →

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27-28
