• OH, THOSE ‘T’ WORDS!

    Troubles, trials, testings, temptations; why are they here?  Why cannot life be sunshine and roses always?  Why must life be fraught with such difficult and desperate times?  Do we respond to trials with depression, dejection and despondency?

  • TICK…TICK…TICK…TICK

    TIME, there are many phrases that include that word,’time’.
