Medicine to Heal What Ails Us
Oh, how I wanted to be my friend, the Class Clown. She could make any situation funny, without even trying. She was my roommate, Lois, at Canyonville Bible Academy in Oregon. She always had me, and others, in stitches. Now, I have a husband who is like that, too! BTW – please forgive me for…
The Litany of Humility
Some time ago, I remember I was put off about something. I mentioned it to my son. He didn’t correct me or agree with me. He simply reached for his Bible and pulled out a sheet of paper from within the pages and showed me “The Litany of Humility”. He suggested that I make this…
