You have to search and search to find him. Sometimes it is easy and it jumps right out at you but usually it is not. The ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,304 views

    Clothing is really an optional concern. It isn’t important. In what do we place our faith? How much faith do we really have? What tests our faith?
