OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: It is just a pet.
I recently posted a picture of Smoky, a chihuahua that was a part of my family for 13 years. He was eight weeks old when we got him. I have a picture of him in my hand on his first day with us. From head to tip of tail, he fit between my index finger and wrist, a tiny ball of fur, flesh, and bone. A tiny life.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: One’s testimony can ignite a revival
Paul and Silas are walking the land. They’re doing the work that they were called to do, watching over the the flock and planting churches. They were also setting demon possessed people free. That’s what actually gets them into trouble.
COMMENTARY: All over the road
I don’t like sloppy drivers. I confess that from time to time, I am a sloppy driver too. But I do my best to not be one. But carelessness will hit you in the moments when you are most relaxed or distracted.
