Need a laugh this weekend?
Someone just sent me this, and so I’ll include it as the second You Tube video we’ve listed here. This does not have near as much redeeming value as the last one I referred to, but it is an hilarious look at what can happen in a baptistry when somone doesn’t [...]

I came across this verse in a recent reading of Colossians 4 in The Message:

The ride home was as scheduled, 10 hours from door to door! I love it when it works that way. When I got home the wildfires were out around Moorpark, though there’s some smoldering going on because we can smell the smoke in the air. Eight homes were lost in our town, [...]
