…c'mon get healthy…

First, I wonder if anyone will get the song reference in the title…I expect most y'all won't …primarily because it's a song from my childhood. Yes, they had music back then. Well, done with that squirrel. On to the post… You've been raised on the Message of the faith and have followed sound teaching. Now …

…it's my party?…

Sitting in a hotel lobby, I watched a group of people gather at a group of couches several feet opposite me. The center of attention was a young girl, probably 12 to 13 years old. As more people joined, the number of gifts pilling up on the small table grew into a festive, and somewhat …
