    There is a rest that is known only when we learn to come to Christ and to take up His yoke.

    REST Matthew 11:28-30 I love the “Peanuts” characters and comic strip, probably because I can so easily relate to Charlie Brown. In one of his strips, Charlie visits Lucy at her psychology booth, and she gives him this advice: “Life is a lot like a deck chair. Some place it to see where they ...read more

    Intro – Some of you watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” in the past couple of weeks.
