Last night, we had dinner out with my parents. During the course of our meal at a local Italian restaurant, my dad asked if we were planning on coming to Easter at their house. We have always had Easter at my parents’ house, except for the few years we lived...
Over the past week, we’ve lost a lot of things. We lost a hour of sleep Saturday night. We apparently lost a pile of snow that was suppose to come our way. And as of yesterday morning, I hope you’ve lost your enemies. As we explored the Sermon on the...
