ON THE BEACH?

She was a photographer doing her “thing”.

Our grand-daughter, who lives on the shore line in Washington State, wasContinue reading “ON THE BEACH?”

IS FAITH “NEW”?

One of the most interesting experiences in my, almost eighty eight years, was when I comprehended the message from the Scriptures that God only accepts a person into “sonship” when that individual steps into a personal belief that must be established through faith.  The Apostle Paul, in writing to the Church in Galatia, brings theContinue reading “IS FAITH “NEW”?”
