How Long Is God’s Leash?
You've seen those retractable leashes people use when walking dogs, right? The leash is attached to the dog's collar and the dog has freedom to roam until the leash holder pushes the button to stop the tension in the line which in turn halts the dog from moving...
Paint Your Corner Of the World.
January. I seem to always feel a little down and somewhat depressed this time of year. It's cold in Indiana and although I love the snow, once it melts away, the land just looks dirty. Christmas is my favorite time of year and I look forward to the holiday season...
How Hard Is It?
How many times have you asked that question of your kids or your spouse? Dirty socks in the middle of the floor. How hard is it? Dirty glass in the sink instead of the dishwasher. How hard is it? Coat laying on the dryer instead of hung on the coat rack. How hard...
