James 3:16

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Most of us do not want "confusion and every evil thing" in our lives. A first step towards ridding ourselves of this, clearly, is to put away envy and self-seeking. Easier said than done, but through prayer and asking help from the Holy Spirit, I know that it is possible.

God Bless You!

One night at about 3am my wife was getting up from the toilet to return to bed when she heard a little noise. It was a suspiciously rodent like sound that seemed to be right in the bathroom with her.

This time the noise was accompanied by something touching the back of her leg! That was too much to bear. She literally flew the 8 feet to the bed, clearing the foot board by a couple feet, to land screaming by my side.

The culprit was right there in plain sight, a trail of toilet paper neatly marked the path from bed to the bathroom.
