When Life Hurts

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 19, 2019

Sometimes life makes us feel like we're getting pummeled. We're get pounded with left hooks and uppercuts and we don't have a chance to cover up and defend ourselves. Is this an appropriate analogy of how some of your days go? What can we do when life hurts?

What Will Heaven Be Like? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 6, 2019

As the elevator ascended the boy watched the signs flash as they went by the floors: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70. The farther up they went, the more ...read more
