Kingdom Hearts

It has been an interesting couple of days since I posted my last blog. I want to say that I appreciate so much the many people who have called, e-mailed me, and reached out to me. Your positive responses and affirmation that you agree with what I said meant a lot to me.

Last night we began our men’s study in the book of Romans. I have been looking forward to this for a while now and the others seem to be excited about the study also.

I think we have all read articles, heard sermons, or have seen bulletins that discuss the prayers of children. Well, tonight Cody and I had our first true experience of being torn between laughing and scratching our heads. We knew it would eventually happen.
