Love Takes Work

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Sep 4, 2023

Love is something we have to work at. It doesn't just instantly happen. Love at first sight can often be cured with a second look! We are not meant to FALL in love with anyone. We are meant to GROW in love. Growing in love is like planting a garden, it takes a lot of hard work.

Let No-One Put Asunder

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 5, 2023

The Law Series
