Live Generously

(Recommended Reading:  Luke 6:27-38) I believe that when we learn to live our lives as a generous person - in every aspect - we will be so much happier and fulfilled.

A Price To Pay

(Scripture references from the NIV) Oh so much can be said about pride and the results of too much of it; and, the same can be said about deceitfulness.
