    What does it mean to be blessed? What does it mean to be favored by God? And what does it mean to be among those who are cursed with troubles and woes.

In fact, the crowd is so vast that the people who are on the outer edge of the gathering cannot hear what is ...read more

    Where's Waldo? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,483 views

    Seeking means intentional effort to find. Finding Waldo is not always easy. Neither is finding his kingdom and his righteousness. Yet it is worth the effort.

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
