One of the most common questions I get asked about in ministry by Christians is how do I share my faith with my friends. We all want a magical evangelistic method or pill that will help us get over our fears and get right into studying the Bible with our friends. When asked this question … More Table Talk
Have you ever thought how much time we spend looking in a mirror? I’m sure some people spend more time than others. But seriously, we spend a lot of time looking at ourselves. From the mirror bathroom to the storefront window (admit it your not just window shopping). Sometimes we look in the mirror to … More The Less I See…
Recently I was having a good catch up with a friend. We were enjoying tacos, Jarritos and chatting about starting our own taco bar (gotta love tacos).

I’m sure most of you heard recently about the endangerment of Hostess Twinkies. We are in peril times my friends.
