Divided Heart

“I can worship God better on the golf course than I do in church.” Golf course, woods, river, shore–I’ve heard them all. I’ve never said “golf course” myself. The other places . . . maybe. Who picked … Continue reading

My Grandson Wants to Be President
I pray for my grandchildren. Not to grow up to be President (although one has that as a goal). Nope, I pray that they will become men and women of noble character. That brings to mind the “wife … Continue reading
