James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom , let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

I always loved the expression, "I'm verstummped." I am not sure if it is made up, but it describes perfectly how I feel when I do not know what to do. But I also love the saying, "Hit the deck, prayer check," which is the first step when facing life's problems.

God Bless You!

FEATURED FUNNY:

My wife had never been to a baseball game, so I took her to see the Los Angeles Dodgers one night.

Our seats were right behind the third-base line. At the top of the first inning, the batter hit a foul ball.

Miraculously, I managed to catch it on the fly.

As I sat down, breathless with excitement, my wife turns to me and says... "That was nice! How many of those do you get a game?"
