    God is a specialist in the unfeasible, in the impractical, in the nonviable, in the unworkable, in the unthinkable, in the unimaginable, and, in the inconceivable.

    We had been living in New Jersey for about three weeks and were wanting to try out different things to get the “East Coast” experience.

    Mother's Day: Sometimes we feel that mothers are perfect. This message reveals a near-perfect mother. From Naomi, we see a mother’s strength, her love for her children, and we learn some things about a mother’s personality.

    As you already know, today is Mother’s Day. I would like to begin our message with a short story: A small boy invaded the lingerie section of a large department store and shyly presented his problem to a woman clerk. “I want to by a slip as a present for my mom,” he said, “but, I don’t know what ...read more
