That conversation would not have seemed too… Continue reading Are You a Heart Breaker Belly Acher?

A Heart of Thanks
A reposted article By Chassidy Carroll While the wind howls in my window tonight, I’m thinking about a sweet old man who eats at the Salvation Army. His normal toothless smile faded earlier today when someone mentioned the weather. “I’m not looking forward to the cold.” His quiet words reflected on many of the dear… Continue reading A Heart of Thanks
Reality Check
A previously posted article by Dennis Ensor We studied the 88th Psalm in our local Bible class last Sunday morning.
