ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE I get an email from someone with a message that I know I’ll remember for a long time. I got a kind email a few days ago from a lady named Jennifer Gall, who gave me permission to let you read what she said. It’s going to sound …
I GET ODD QUESTIONS about the Bible from time to time. Like this one from Jean Yargovan, who wins a free book of mine for taking the time to send the weird question my way. It’s the Bible Question of the Week, my Monday feature. “On Sunday at church …
