I own stock in YUM, which is Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell. Repeatedly, the board of directors have refused to make their restaurants smoke-free citing that they comply to current regulations and doing so would put their restaurants at a disadvantage to other restaurants that allow it. Basically,

There are those Christians who boast that they never miss Sunday services while on the other hand fail to attend midweek services or evening fellowships. That is not enough! You are only lying to yourself since we don’t attend church to please the lay leaders or the pastor but to have communion

LOVE IS ACTION
I took Helen (eight years old) and Brandon (five years old) to the Cloverleaf Mall in Hattiesburg to do a little shopping.
As we drove up, we spotted a Peterbilt eighteen-wheeler parked with a big sign on it that said, "Petting Zoo." The kids jumped up in a rush and asked,
