The One Who Knows You

Contributed by Michael Hollinger on Sep 12, 2006

They say as you go through life, it isn’t as important what you know as it is whom you know. Well, they’re close to being right...

They say that as you go through life it isn’t as important what you know as whom you know. This morning, I want to suggest this is true, but I’ll go even one better.

"What Do You Seek?"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Sep 22, 2006
