Romans 6:11 "So you should consider yourselves dead to sin and able to live for the glory of God through Christ Jesus."

FLY LIKE AN EAGLE
A nature lover was once walking through the countryside when he came upon a farm. He walked up to the fence and looked into the barnyard. He saw lots of chickens and geese and other farm animals wandering and scratching about. Then he noticed one bird that didn’t fit. He looked
