If you’re a bsaeball fan, you should probably grab it.

The Watchword – A young friend of mine has begun a unique blog. His first entry is called “The Watchword” and is a very interesting story of conversion.

In the Beginning – Here’s a free song that may interest you. It’s based on John 1.

Silly Ideas that Made Millions – Here are a few of them.

Oprah or Religion? – You decide. (HT:MK)

  • Pray Until You Feel Like It

    It is wise to set aside a time and place to pray—to build the habit and to then maintain it. But creating the habit may not always create the desire.
