e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement. But, the man
deleted it and continued crying... Don't miss out on a blessing because it
isn't packaged the way that you expect. The instructions were to send this to
people that we want God to bless.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it 'freedom of expression'. We have ...
