    in such a world of economic, political, and even environmental uncertainty, the love of God is all we have to hang on to. Thank God that it’s more than enough! His love hangs on to us; it will never let us go.

We hear of families who are in distress, because the husband or wife chose to walk away from home leaving their spouse and children in a state of abandonment. ...read more
