The Christians to Avoid

1262) I used to listen to radio host Paul Harvey’s programs while I’d eat lunch. He always had something fascinating to share, and one thing that sticks out in my memory is how he would honor couples around the nation who had been married 70 years or more. That’s a long time! I have known

God’s Justice: Fruit

1260) Social media has left a huge electronic footprint upon life as we know it. I have seen many prints of ugliness produced by it, but there have also been many beautiful ones. One of these positive results is that social media has allowed me to connect with people who have come and gone within

Body Building: Reject Evil

1254) I was afraid of dogs when I was little and when I got old enough to read, I took the signs that said, “Beware of dog” seriously. I remember walking down the sidewalk in my neighborhood and there would be some fenced in yards and, sure enough, a huge, ferocious dog would run at
