The Power of Little Things
Posted on April 14
THE POWER OF LITTLE THINGS Last week, I wrote about the danger of little things and how they can become destructive.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? Names are important. Everybody has one. You don’t choose your name, but you choose what your name will mean! There was a teenage boy who rode his bicycle to deliver groceries to the homes of people. One couple moved into the small community and availed themselves of that opportunity.
