The Kingdom
For days I thought of nothing but Amendment One. The only thing that really was a factor in my vote was separation of Church and State. Here’s the thing. I hold God’s law and the order God set about in creation as the highest law and the highest order – the highest of which stated by Jesus,”You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all…

What are you looking at?
This morning at Costco, I did the most annoying thing a customer could possibly do by attempting to open a door next to the sample stand to get out a box of yogurt – and happened to knock over an empty travel mug… at least it was the most annoying thing ever based on the look the lady donning the blue apron and hair net and her comment that the sample is ALWAYS in the front, with some other lady…

You see, it has been just over four years since our last conference. I remember sitting through the talks being constantly distracted by contractions as my full term baby boy was three days away from making his debut into the world. This conference has been a…
