That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. Captain Jeff and our group have been trying to make this fishing trip happen for a couple of months but things just did not cooperate to make it come together. First the water was too warm so he said they have not gotten into the river and were hanging out at the mouth. Then he...

I applaud some of the evangelical leaders who have been pricking our consciences—and some who have been setting good examples by driving fuel-efficient vehicles. But evangelicals need to remember that we are...
