PGrab some coffee (or your favorite brain waker upper) and get ready to learn some new tricks. And don’t give me that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks baloney.

What do you believe God couldn’t or wouldn’t help you through? Of course, I mean things that don’t go against His nature and word. Do you think financial problems are out of the question? Family squabbles? Job pressures? With all the people in the world, surely there’s an end to His patience and understanding. Right? Well, yes. And no. He DOES make promises to … The rest of the story…
