Among my Granny’s things when she passed away years ago, a few treasures found lingering.  A surprisingly intimate and old fashioned love letter representing 48 years of marriage.  So surprising, yet heartwarming to know there was so much more depth than her role as Granny in our lives: Love has no sense of time and…

In a world of shouting, sending out a whisper from 1992 The quiet spoken Christian heart lacks not conviction but courage in awe of the presence and respectfully enthralled The quiet spoken Christian heart lacks expression not emotion Loves not any less than those who profess but rather loves from within The quiet spoken Christian…

What channel are you listening to?
