     | 2,839 views

    SPIRIT: A LIFE CHANGING FORCE There are those who think the Spirit is a thing. They view Him as a lifeless blob that God sets inside of us that doesn’t physically affect us during our lives.

    One of the ways that children change a marriage is easy to identify: they require us husbands to grow up and become their daddies.
