Know who you are you…and be that person.
While it seems that people are […]
What do the Joyce Meyer Ministry, .85 cent gas and Sex billboards have in common? They are all part of the 25 Years of Life, Innovation, and the Church time line which gives us a nice snapshot and highlights of the last 25 years. While it’s by no means a complete time line…it does give […]
Here’s an interesting reflection on design and what it looks like in relation to the Israelite’s journey.
