Savory Speech in a Snarky Society

November 22, 2015 Leave a Comment

Birds arguing

It seems to me that we as a culture are too easily offended. Recently, Phil Robertson, of Duck Dynasty fame, expressed his convictions regarding homosexuality.

Sunrise

I remember being challenged with the importance of daily devotions as a high school student. The thought of getting up early to read and pray was a hard sell at the time.
