Resolving to Pursue a Clean Heart
The human condition is a reflection of the great fall from grace in the Garden of Eden. Ever since that ancient example was set, all of mankind has shared the same experience in life from birth to physical death, physically, mentally, and spiritually, we fall down, we get up.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Serve One Another
Even those with the least of worldly possessions can have a dramatic and positive impact on the life of someone else.
