Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Improving your love life is an intentional exercise; it’s not something that just happens to you. It can be very easy to let time go by without regard to how we are spending it. I knew this was true for me, and I didn’t know how to determine if I was improving my lovelife, so... Continue Reading →

I don’t fault my Sunday School teachers and their felt boards and characters, but the stories of Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Whale and even Daniel in the Lion’s Den didn’t do... Continue Reading →
