Let’s Fly!
Cars lined up. Engines revving with every pump of the gas pedal. His hands are gripped to the leather of the steering wheel; sweat seeping between his fingers. The announcer comes over the loud speaker. "Ready. Set." And then the sound of the starter pistol. They're...
Is It Time To Forgive Tom Brady?
WOW! For those of you who know me - even a tiny bit - know my dislike for Tom Brady. And for those of you who don't know me......well now you know. But as silly as it seems, God has been working on my "almost hatred-like feelings" toward that man. In my Bible study...
