The power of hobbies
I am grateful for hobbies. One of my hobbies these days is chasing after a raw bench of 500 lbs (roughly 227 kilograms).

An encouraging word for those hungry for justice
This morning I decided to listen to some sermons or thoughts from a favorite preacher, Bob Sorge. The sermon highlight entitled “Justice” caught my eye. I hope it will minister to your heart as it did mine:
Crazy bird man! Ha.

Yet here I am… …five parrots later! Really, it is a joy. Mrs. DM knows how to play my love of … Continue reading “Crazy bird man! Ha.”
