Contributed by Mari Larson on Feb 19, 2017

We all know Micah 6:8, but there's a lot more to the message than just a T-shirt slogan.

When I participated in my first 5K, I had to wear the shirt provided by my gym (since they paid the registration fee), but most of the time, each runner ...read more

Treated Better Than We Deserve

Contributed by John Gaston on May 26, 2016

Many complain about God letting them down, but the truth is, God blesses us far more than we deserve. If we compare our selves with others, or consider if we got justice instead of mercy, we'd never charge God with wrongdoing.

It was an especially obnoxious cat which yowled a lot and loved to pounce on him when he fell asleep in his lazy-boy chair. It would stand around smirking at him. 2. So one day he ...read more
