    A Gift Of One

    Contributed by Gary Stebbins on Dec 26, 2007
     | 1,847 views

    Christmas is more than gifts that I receive or give, it is about the gift that God has given to mankind. It was a gift that many then did not want and many still do not want today, yet it is a gift that all men desperately need.

    Christmas Eve 2007- A Gift of One As the Christmas season approaches my family begins to ask me what I would like for Christmas. Many items I would like to put on my list- some more expensive than people are going to want to spend. Most of us can think a gift we would like to receive. Christmas is ...read more

The pursuit of excellence will most always seem foreign to those on the OUTSIDE looking IN!

    Solomon exposes the insignificance and absurdity of life IF life were nothing more than what is seen “under the sun”. He offers only two options--a life of hopelessness, or trust in God.
