the culture of complaint

hiding out loud
i will be the first to admit that the types and symbols in Scripture sometimes escape me. the throne, for instance, is not a good picture for me. i have sat in very uncomfortable wooden pews being taught about the "throne." "come BOLDLY to the throne of......Read More

ugly shoes are not enough

it takes an e-village
