Our lesson this week on What You Get Is Not What You See covers a lot of territory. Proverbs 14 and 15 contain so much valuable instruction that we could probably spend one week on each verse instead of this one week on all 68 verses. Sound wisdom and instruction seem to be in short supply. … Continue reading –>
The contrast could not have been greater. On one side stood revered religious leaders whose very presence enlisted admiration.

For the last two weeks I have been engaged in a war of wills with a family of squirrels. Those cute little creatures always scampering about my yard had now become my opponents.
