Tow, by Albert W. Vogt III
My heart aches for the homeless. I pray every day for them, and each one I see on the streets I regret when I have nothing to offer. There are those who look upon such people and accuse them of being addicted to something or lazy, or both. Maybe some who are counted among the…
Tony, by Albert W. Vogt III
Life will bring you plenty of unexpected developments. A large part of having a Faith life is learning how to deal with these potential trying situations, and putting them in their proper perspective.
