People are distinct from other living creatures in many ways. one such way is that we are given a soul. A part of the soul is what we express as a will.

Sometimes we think we know how God should use us, but things don’t work out that way. Like the young man who had a heart for God, intelligent, handsome,Continue reading “An unlikely vessel”
Saint Patrick… a Baptist
The saint to the emerald isle is held by many Roman Catholic and Protestant, and possibly even some Baptists as being a good Roman Catholic priest.
