Be For Real!

Contributed by Jose Gomez Sr. on Sep 6, 2005

In light of everything that has happened with hurricane Katrina and other events around the world we can say beyond the shadow of a doubt that we are living in the last days. Never the less God challenges us to have a heart of compassion.

Bring Me A Worm

Contributed by Carol Moore on Jun 22, 2019

Instead of asking the Spirit to come to us, why not accept His invitation to step into His circle.
