Great example of the power of, ‘SMALL THINGS’

I want to share an e-mail with you all and hope it encourages you as it did me.

Some thoughts on, “The Small Things”

Tonight I felt that same familiar feeling while sharing with the Mighty men, women and youth (MMWY for short 🙂 — the feeling that people would want to bail once they really understood Jesus message to ‘serve one another.’ Let’s face it, we live in a culture that says, ‘look out for #1, Me first, […]
