    Realationship Series

    Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 4, 2006

It appears to me that most of what is foisted upon us during the holiday’s is anything but real. As we prepare ...read more

    This is week five of a seven part series based on Andy Andrews book, the Traveler’s Gift. This week we look at the Joyful decision and how that looks in the beleiver’s life.

    To be like Christ, to be Christ like.
