Walls separate us from each other and God but Jesus shows us how to break down those walls and build something better.

Mixing Politics And Religion

Contributed by Harold Orndorff on Jul 11, 2004

The second, "tics", describes blood-sucking creatures. I’m kidding, of course, but - In my many years of ...read more
