Fresh Starts

Fresh Starts Recently, I was playing basketball in a community men’s league.  These men get together for about 2 hours each Monday during the winter months to play on the hardwood.  The games lasted 8 minutes each.  At the end of each game the scoreboard was cleared of the points and another game started with 8 minutes on the clock. Continue reading “Fresh Starts”

A Costly Excuse

A Costly Excuse Acts 24:25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

Letting Go of the Rope

Are You a Forgiving Person? Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: The church I grew up in had several buildings, one being over 100 years old.  There was a steeple and a large and loud bell at the top of this building.   For SundayContinue reading “Letting Go of the Rope”
