We see some pretty big things in our world. Witness a tornado rip through a town and take one house but leave another untouched – miraculous! See the birth of a child and you’re left in awe. There are life changing moments that happen very day in so many different ways it’s uncanny. But there’s…
Ever think you can learn about reading the Bible better from a bar of soap? We all use it. At least I sure hope we all do! Now more than ever people are aware of how and when they use soap and washing and cleanliness. But have you ever considered how something as simple as…
