Same Old Same Old

Have you ever thought of God as same-old-same-old? I posed that question this morning to the men’s group I spoke to in Hannibal. The general consensus was that God is never that way, but our lives often are. I shared this scripture and talked about what it meant to me (Hannibal Devotions) in the context […]

Hannibal Devotions

I’m speaking at a men’s breakfast tomorrow in Hannibal, Missouri at the Mark Twain Dinette. It’s probably nothing like the picture I have in my mind, but it sure sounds cool.
