I was responding to a message from a friend this morning and figured I’d post what I typed on the blog. Shawn, Just read your latest post. Why is the hotel so important? I don’t live in Dallas and I don’t have a say but what is it expected to...
Who in the hell left the gate open? That’s the kicker from the above sermon by Rev. B.W. Smith (about 2:00 in) when describing a little dog that always yapped at a big dog from behind the safety of a fence. Now I’m not really drawing a parallel with the...
