I recently sent an email to someone who did me a great favor ten years ago. They crossed my mind, and I wanted to thank them again for what they did because of how much it meant to me. I then added the line, “For what it’s worth, I’m praying for you and that your life is blessed.” I thought that … [Read more...]

I was Wrong about Christians

Catholic leaders are the worst for this as their decor of choice is Jesus dead on the cross: (interior decorator) “I love how you designed this room with the tall ceiling and gothic windows, but you know what it needs? Statues … [Read more...]
