Am I Grateful?
I have realized in my life how easy it is to become spoiled with the creature comforts of life. Take a minute to stop and think about how spoiled we have become in life. We often fail to see that we redefine our needs as wants. One of the characteristics I have noticed in Godly… Continue Reading

Am I An Example?
I remember an account, that I heard years ago, from a follower of Jesus who was taken advantage of by a contractor who was a leader in a solid Bible believing church.
