The Gospel . . . It’s the good news! Oh yeah, I heard the Gospel once. I walked down the aisle of a church many years ago and said the sinner’s prayer. It felt good at the time . . . relieved my guilty conscience. I’m glad I did it, but I’m a very private […]

It’s getting late, way past your bedtime, but Friday night only comes once a week! The family begs you. Please! Oh please stay up and spend some time with us! You’re exhausted, but can’t resist! You love spending time with the family and can’t say no. Can anybody relate? You try to engage, but can […]
