Allow me to share this story, narrated to me by a friend a few weeks ago. I'll call her Dee. In the late 80's, my friend Dee was a young Christian, a teenager, eager to serve the Lord. At some point, Dee became aware of a certain...
On the day I turned 25, I decided to get myself a nose ring - a nice little gold-plated one, right here on the side of my nose. For some reason, nose rings were all the rage that year, and every young girl worth her batting...
By the time I came to Christ, I knew very little about the Bible; I couldn't even tell who came first - Abraham or David! So, being what you might call the scholarly type, I decided to go back to school and acquire the necessary papers. Naturally,...
