More Than Just Waiting, Part 2
Read more: More Than Just Waiting, Part 2Yesterday I left you with the question, what is the key to this? In other words, what is the key to worshiping God even as we wait?

More Than Just Waiting, Part 1

Arrogance or Confidence?
Read more: Arrogance or Confidence?My call to jury duty last month was the closest I’ve come so far to being seated on a jury.
