A comment on this week’s post about the importance of patience as we learn to be content with what we have – really struck a chord with me. I used to be possibly one of the most impatient people on the planet at times. My time frame was in seconds, minutes and hours. That is […]

Comments Off on He looks identical to Christ – by Kayla

Please check out this post my friend, Kayla, wrote about her experience this past weekend. THIS is the place where we must start with Jesus.
