Franklin Graham, the son of the late Evangelist Billy Graham, posts these words on the Samaritan's Purse website: "Today, our nation is at a critical juncture. We need to call out to God for His help, His intervention, and His mercy. It is only by His hand that...
Pinocchio Prayers
Nothing worse than being lied to. And unfortunately, this time of year during voting season, it seems the lies are passed around like candy. One party blames another while touting their own lies. The accused creates their own lies to combat the accuser. It snowballs...
Toothpaste Words.
Have you ever squeezed the toothpaste too much and all that white glob spills over the sides of the toothbrush? I try to prop it back on top of the brush only to leave it oozing down the side again. I think, "it will be okay. This isn't that much toothpaste." I...
