Someone to Hear My Case
Job and his buddies were in agreement about some stuff. As I read Job 31 this morning, out of the gate Job makes a couple of statements that I think his debating cohort would have said, “Yes and Amen!” to. … Continue reading

Pleasure in Insults
Chewing on some well recognized verses in 2Corinthians this morning. I say “well recognized” rather than “well known” because I think it’s going to take a lifetime to really “know’ these verses. ‘Cause just when you think you’ve gone through … Continue reading
