     | 8,733 views

    Pure Extravagant Love

     | 4,955 views

    Sometimes we take life much too seriously. Life is to be taken seriously, but some folks are so serious they can not enjoy life.

    If we are going to enjoy life, we have to have a sense of humor. God has a sense of humor. I know some folks have the idea that God sits up in heaven and never cracks a smile. But I do not believe that, I sincerely believe God looks down upon what He has created and has the same kind of joy ...read more
