The number 8 is said to represent new beginnings. And I could share some interesting Bible stuff to emphasize how that could be true. But YOU might be somebody who isn’t impressed with “Bible stuff,” even when there’s some mighty impressive “coincidences” scattered all through the book.

A social media friend of mine shares some amazing photography. The colors are often so brilliant and high resolution they almost jump off the screen and directly into my brain.

To say imagination is everything is like claiming it as your god. “Oh now, c’mon Tony. Really? You really believe that?” Yeah. I do. I can’t say your kid’s life will be completely better because … Read the rest…
