Do Your Best

By John T. McNeal   

Do you ever have days at work when you just want to skate by doing as little as possible?

The Courage to Repent

By Rachael Sales

How does a quick-tempered wife and mother repent into a lifestyle of gentleness and patience with her husband and children? How does the drug addict repent into a life of drug free living?
