BODILY FUNCTIONS – Sunday’s Sermon
Bodily Functions – my reflections on Sunday’s Sermon It’s a good thing that Harry, our minister, has learned to trust in God and give Him the lead. Today in church we had no electrical power.

KEEP IT SIMPLE
Keep it Simple by Jan Cox I chided myself that my prayers weren’t full enough; weren’t organized enough; that I forgot people. STOP! Do I make too much of this “prayer” focus? Yes.
