DISARMED BY A PETUNIA
I was driving down the road and was approaching a house that looked, to me, like the typical “crack house.” As I got closer to the house I noticed a man standing on the front porch. A cigarette drooped from his mouth. His scraggly beard, sunken eyes, weathered skin...
THE FILLING
Sarah, Hannah, Rebekah, Rachel, Manoah’s wife, and Elizabeth … Do you know what these six women of the Bible had in common? The Bible says that they were all BARREN, which means that they weren’t able to have children … they couldn’t get pregnant … their wombs were...
“DON’T YOU CARE?”
