The Christian Life 2020: Only Quality People

I value people. I value only quality people, as Les Brown likes to say. I value good, honest, moral characters that won't betray you in their hearts, minds or out loud when they catch a chance. These days this is a rare commodity to find in anyone. It seems the demon of betrayal, backbiting, hypocrisy, …

The Christian Life 2020: Sleepless in Baltimore

There is nothing that can be substituted for sleep. Over these last couple of days, it has been difficult to get my seven to eight hours of sleep. I have been sleepless in Baltimore.

The Christian Life 2020: Trying to Exhale, But the Air is Toxic
