Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Psalm 82:3

What if there are children who will suffer somehow because I failed to obey God?
What if my cowardice costs even one child somewhere in the world his or her life?
(excerpt from The Hole in Our Gospel)

    1. And I love that someone comments on my blog. You're very sweet! I wish people knew that when I print this out for "him" someday, there won't be any comments to go along with it. Oh well, guess we'll have to blame Fake Book for this little "problem" (if you can call it that).
