Never Forget

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 26, 2020

It's good to establish memorials and hold events to remember important occasions or people. What about when it comes to God? If we're not careful, our focus on God could fade to where we think of him less and less. We have to be careful to not forget God.

NEVER FORGET If you're anything like me, it's easy to forget things; especially if they're not written down. Researcher Karen Bolla lists the top three things people most often forget: 3. phone numbers. 2. where something is. 1. names. Sometimes we can even forget something important ...read more

That is, there are some roommates that can teach you more about life in the dorm, than any college professor can teach you in a classroom. One thing they certainly can teach you a lot about is patience. When you have a roommate in the dorm: • When you want to study, he wants to play the radio • ...read more
