May This Encourage You Always
By Francina Katamila
Don’t spend major time with minor people. If there are people in your life that continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, too judgmental, have different values and don’t give their backing during difficult times…that is not a friend.
To have a friend, be a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow, [...]
Love Your Enemies
Most of those men and women whom we honor during independence weekend died at the battle field and at the hands of an enemy. It is difficult to remember them without also considering the cause of their death. War did not kill them only, but some armed enemy who had been driven to hate them. [...]

Do To Others As Though You Were The Others
By: Revd. Jan Scholtz
An eastern stable
A starlit night
When God’s eternal light
