God’s Ray of Sunshine in the Rain!
I let myself down! Yes, I recently rediscovered that nagging little truth. You know, the truth that I am not perfect! I always make really big mistakes at the worst possible times, and I make them in front of other folks! How embarrassing is that? I will tell you...
read moreGod In The Spotlight
America has gone from God being in the spotlight to God not being allowed any spotlight. It would not have felt out of place when our country started to have spoken of God in public. Why do so many folks feel that it's out of place now? On TV I heard an atheist...
