But what am I going to do with a verse like 1Thessalonians 3:3? Well, there are several things I can do with it. I could just jump over it and try to find something more positive to think about. Have you ever thrown a rock across a pond or river and in such a way that it sort of skipped across

In front of our own church, our church sign has been tampered with. Today, on it is the phrase, “Jesus Loves You”. Kids recently jumbled up all the letters and made it read other things. I placed it back in correct order and found 6 letters missing. I think a christians life is to say to others
