He had a good reputation among all the

God Can Change Your Attitude
We live in an angry world, surrounded by angry people. We can give all kinds of excuses for being an angry person, but none of them really make an angry attitude the only option.
I went out to visit our friend Bruce Thursday. If you remember he had surgery for a

"Pardon me, sonny" she said,
