Update Required.

I was trying to open a new app on my phone and I got the message something like "update software" or "new version required to open this app".  I didn't want to take the time to update my phone with the new app. And we all know what happens.  We go to update the new...

Walkin’ On The Water.

If you want to walk on water, you've got to step out of the boat. - by John Ortberg I love that saying and I am starting to re-read the book. In Matthew 14:22-33 we see the account of Jesus walking on the water.  Peter questioned Jesus from the boat and said, "Lord,...
