  • Do You Know?

    I imagine that you know this, but in case you have forgotten, you are a very important part of something that is far bigger than yourself. You are integral to something that without you is not complete and without which… Continue reading

  • 9-11-2007

    It is 9-11 and every blogger, commentator, and preacher is waking up with a feeling of obligation to say something. I think almost everything has been said somewhere by someone. It happened. It was awful. We must never forget. It… Continue reading
