Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels. Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment, and of the ill-treated as of yourselves, for you also are in the body. Let marriage be honored among all and the marriage bed be kept undefiled,...

The commercials were too sexual, too misogynistic, too vulgar. Then the half time...
More Spring in the South
Thankfully the weather has taken a turn for the cooler, so today we got outside and worked on the yard a bit.
