OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ

SPEAKING OF FAITH: The Old Life and the New…
From now on, we are on our journey to Heaven. On this journey we must compare ourselves only to Jesus, not to others around us, so we can say, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
COMMENTARY: Excuse me, are you sitting in my seat?
I am not jaded by anyone’s perception of a rigged system or the folks who bloviate about “they are going to do what they want, and nothing can change that”. If we all think that way, then it will be so for sure.
