Vengeance

Romans 12:19 New International Version (NIV) 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. I was watching 48 hours with my wife the other day and saw a case where a woman who had left […]

Difficult People

I am sure if you ask someone that knows me, they will tel you I am difficult to deal with.  To be honest it is true, at times. I have argued with my parents to defend the Republicans and argued with my wives parents to defend the Democrats.  Why?  Because to be honest there is […]
