The Principle Of Accumulation And The Cascading Years

Work—The Purpose Of Your Existence
Scriptures: Ephesians 2:10, Matthew 5:13-16, Genesis 2:15; 19-25. When the purpose of a thing is not defined, it cannot be refined, and it will definitely be misused and abused.

Lessons From Christmas—The Birthing And Berthing Of Christmas
With age, maturity, and responsibility, I have become very unexcited by the frivolous activities associated with Christmas celebrations. First of all, the home is empty. We just had one visitor, at the time of writing, on the day. Secondly, with the fear of diabetes, atherosclerosis, and stroke, you can’t eat as you would want to […]
