Christian Cataracts (Luke 24: 44-53) Well, it finally caught up to me. My eyes got so bad I had to have double cataract surgery. I once was blurry but now I see! Yeah, your eyes going bad kind of sneaks up on you because it is so gradual. I found it difficult to drive [...]

My sister was the middle child and apparently, she felt there was some sort of competition for the attention and affection of my parents. I can’t say much about the psychology [...]
Seeing and Believing No Video this week
If you remember, last week I talked about my young clients that I represented when I was a court-appointed lawyer in Smith County, Texas.
