                    Once there was a man who collected and traded in pearls. He had a fine collection of his own.

                    The meaning of your name can affect your future.
I can see you want proof:
•	When Israel was defeated in battle by the men of Ai, and if you were of the family Judah, and you were of the household of Achan, your name meant you would die.

                    Simplicity brings clarity to our lives and hearts. Worry begins to drop away because we stop worrying about things that cause us worry and focus on accomplishing God’s purposes in us. (Think: loving God and neighbor and helping others become disciples.)

It is said that a prominent rabbi, when asked why God created so many Gentiles, replied, "So there might be fuel enough for the fires of hell." 
It was unlawful for a Jew to help a Gentile who was giving birth, thus helping to bring another Gentile into the world. If a Jew
