Great title to start a post, right? Prepare to die. And no, this isn’t a reference to the movie, Princess Bride. We all have one life to live but each life ends the same - in death. We don’t know when our life will be over, when death will knock on the door and decide [...]
Now is the time
Why do we wait? Why do I wait? It is evident that God is at work. He is moving. He is speaking. He is capturing the attention of many. Yet, we wait. Here I go with the “we” stuff again. Let me rephrase that, yet, I wait. Why do I do that? I’ve been asking [...]
