Repentance
As we grow and learn our faith in Jesus Christ will be lead us to repent. There has been a need for repentance since the days of Adam & Eve. There isn’t a soul upon the earth who doesn’t have a need to repent. In some way or another, we have all sinned, to what […]
Who Knows
(The original date this was written is unknown-my best guess is in 1993-94) Momma’s love their daughters, Daddy’s love their sons; But who loves the ones Who haven’t anyone to love?
