Bill answered, “Yes, I certainly do.”

BASEBALL IN HEAVEN
A preacher and a song leader were both avid baseball fans. These guys didn't just like baseball; they lived, breathed and ate baseball. What time they weren't about church duties, they were attending a game, watching a game on the tube, or coaching a little league game in the

The other week as I was entering the front entrance of my home a foul smell became very evident to me – I knew what it was immediately as it wasn’t the first time, my drains were blocked! You see were an end terrace and our corner house not only serves our own home when it comes to the drains,
