I was asked if I would like to review the third edition of Thomas Nelson’s Full-Color NKJV Comfort Print® Study Bible. Of course I would. I love to read and study the Bible; I have for decades. I use several different translations and study Bibles in my research. However, I was stuck on using a…
Happy New Year to my Christian singles! I hope that you had a fun but safe New Year Eve’s celebration. Hopefully, you have recovered and are surveying the freshness of this brand new year, 2019. Did you make any New Years’ resolutions? How are you doing so far this year? I’m doing okay, but it’s…

Through your eyes, I see the billboards, bumper stickers, junk mail, election information, T-shirts, and You Tube videos which you see. I even know each word of every…
