    The End is Near (I Peter 4:7-11) 1. AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package.

    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.

    Human beings usually focus their attention on one thing at a time, so if they are given anything interesting to focus on, they will not pay attention to what is of value to them.
