The World Is Full of Opportunities
It’s Our Responsibility to Make the Most of Them In our humanness we all feel inadequate. We don’t think we have what it takes to do that thing…whatever that thing for us is. One of Rev. James Moore’s seminary responsibilities was a weekly visit to a hospital. One week he […]
