Four Questions for Atheists and Agnostics
Calling all atheists and agnostics. May I ask you a question? Okay, maybe four. What do, or who do, you believe in since you don’t believe in God? Is it hard to accept the death of a loved one? Was there ever a time in your life when you believed in God, or in a…

Times Of Refreshing

If I Was To Die Tomorrow
I’m not intending to sound morbid or morose, but I’d like to talk a little about mortality. Specifically, my mortality. And yours. No, I’m not sick. I’m not sick of living, either. I have a great life, a wonderful wife, and I’m blessed beyond what I deserve. I love our son and his wife, as…
