Movie Review-Ordet(The Word)

But we do like good entertainment, especially when it has strong Christian values. This past weekend I found a movie that absolutely enthralled me. I’ve already ordered it for Christmas.

When Hell Seems to Come Against You, Be an Overcomer!

When Hell Seems to Come Against You, Be an Overcomer!
  Have you ever felt like hell was coming against you? I don’t make that statement often. But last week...well, it was a humdinger if you know what I mean. Someone stole Dale’s identity, opened credit card accounts, used existing accounts, and racked up thousands upon thousands of dollars in his name. We immediately alerted Experian, our bank and th[...]

A Love Story: Fairy Tales Do Come True - Part 1 of 3
Once upon a time, many years ago, there lived a young man who knelt to the ground every morning and prayed to the Lord for his bride-to-be. He asked Him to make her spirit strong, keep her pure, and to prepare her for the day he would finally meet her.
