While We Wait

Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay in Habakkuk 2:3 I’ll be honest, I’ve never taken the time to read Habakkuk before.

A God Sense of Humor

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” Matthew 7:3 (NIV) Let’s face it.
