CHOICES
Every day we’re confronted with choices. We decide what we’ll wear, whether or not to eat breakfast, should we shovel the driveway before leaving for work or wait until we get home? Those are easy choices, except maybe the one … Continue reading

UPSIDE DOWN

HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD
In 1999, an adventure/horror movie called “The Mummy” hit the big screen and we were witness to the dead coming back to life – embalming garb and all. Flesh began to cover near skeletal bodies – muscle replaced withered flesh … Continue reading
