Our Obsequious Country
Hello from the world of the unexpected daily events, While many of us want to point the finger at the President, the Congress, the SCOTUS, the other party, the media, there is something significant in all of it. We are blamers. We want to incriminate the other while playing victim ourselves. However, in doing soContinue reading “Our Obsequious Country”

The Ultimate University
Hello on the final holiday weekend of the summer, As I attended worship this morning, I was blessed to sit with two people who’ve become dear friends to me.
