I got into a conversation with a young entrepreneurial mom at a local bookstore.  She spoke with me about some of the reasons she did not believe in God.  I think I surprised her by agreeing with her reasons for rejecting a belief in god – at least her concept of god.  Heck, I agree […]

God’s Greatest Gift

By on Friday, October 11th, 2013 | No Comments

There is a proverb which says, ““No gift is truly ours till we have thanked the giver.” We’ve come to the end of our week of reflection on Luke 17:11-19.
