Feeding my soul: My Bible Reading, Listening and Living

I am a tither

I am a tither

Twice as much a son of hell

Twice as much a son of hell

When the time of questioning your faith comes

When the time of questioning your faith comes

"Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened ox with hatred."
- Proverbs 15:17 (HCSB)
