A new visitor has come in Be it alone or with a friend Thoughtful and considerate we must be For each has a story we may not see. Will we “do unto Him” By this visitor who’s come in? Remember what it’s like To be the new kid on sight? Our initial response to one […]

My life is good from day to day Everything appears to be going my way. So, I have not a need for Christianity I might call on God, but only in tragedy. But what if that tragedy is my own? A more convenient season has come and gone. My opportunity then dies with my pride […]
