Who We Are… Who We’re Supposed to Be
I was on vacation at the beach and was building a sand sculpture of an elephant. I thought it was coming along nicely, but a woman came up and told me that the tusks of the elephant were wrong. At first I was offended by her comment, but then I humbly asked, “What...
God is Good
While I was talking with a lady many years ago, we got into a discussion about the goodness of God. I remember her saying, “When I talk about how good God is something comes over me and I almost can’t contain myself!” There have been many occasions in my Christian...
