If you’ve ever listened to Christian radio or TV programs for more than a second or two, you’ve no doubt heard them talking about “glory.” It seems like it’s always glory this, glory that, and glory hallelujah. So what’s the glory story all about anyway? Glorious, as defined in the dictionary, is: “having a striking beauty or splendor that evokes feelings of delighted admiration.” … Read the rest…
As a kid, I had a vivid imagination, and I loved to spend time in my own little world of make believe. I don’t think that makes me unique at all. I’m sure just about every kid enjoys conjuring up images of flying ponies or personal rocket ships or invisible friends. It’s good to have an imagination. You’ve probably heard some people say “go … Read the rest…
Pssst…hey you. Yeah, you. C’mere. I got some valuable information…a code…and I need someone I can trust with it just in case I’m not around to get it into the right hands.

Wow, these expressions really … Read the rest…
Leftovers can be quite delicious. I’ll concede that right off the bat. However; as a general rule, I’m not a big fan. My preference is simply this…the fresher the food, the more life there is in it.
