The One In Which I Sob

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

How To Be Rich

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

Today began a 4 part series at church. This week was the intro lesson based on 1 Timothy 6:17a. I say “a” because the pastor just used the very beginning of the verse to make a point: “Command those who are rich in this present world…” Go back. Read it again…I’ll wait…now ask yourself, “Is [...]
