    Gehazi had to meet Elisha where he lied to Elisha, and God judged him by making him a leper. At that point Gehazi and Elisha separated for good. This sad, but important story has many lessons to teach us about our own deceitful natures.

Sometimes I wish we could do to our politicians what a company did to a farmer. Illus: An elderly farmer ...read more
