Atmosphere Changers!
A few years ago, quite a few years ago, I was trying to lose a few pounds by running. I mapped out and followed a trail that sent me by a construction working crew. I chose that path because it was flat and smooth, and I could run along unimpeded and build up some steam. I did, in fact, lose some…
We Have Work to Do…
“In Him [Jesus] was life, and that life was the light of men.” John 1:4 Believers are instructed to throw our worries upon the Lord, because He intimately cares about what is happening in our lives.

Young people are returning to school and the routine that will dictate their lives for the next…
