Give Gifts Like God 2008-12-23 16:01:42 As I write this, it’s three days before Christmas. I’m still considering what to give. I have Christmas Eve obligations, so that cuts my shopping days down to two.
More importantly though, I’ve been considering how to give rather than what to give.

Grace
= unmerited favor
In simpler terms:

You can’t solve problems because you don’t understand them.
There you are. You’re stressed. You’re irritable. You’re trying to solve a problem.

Free Prayer: December, 2008 2008-12-04 03:15:15 “Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?” - Corrie ten Boom
Do you belittle the power of prayer?
I do.
