INFLATION Sixty years ago my Mom cried for 3 days when she lost $3.00 she had saved to buy school clothes at a second hand store. Today one dollar bills are loose change. Forty eight years ago I made 75 cents an hour and paid for our hospital insurance for a month with 11/2 days …
UNDER THE BLOOD We are as good as our last confession. When we repent God forgives us of all our sin. It’s not like the song, “Count your many blessings see what God has done”. No, it’s NOT count your many sins see how wild I’ve been. It is not a brag sheet to show …
