Verse of the Day: 'peace to the far and the near'
I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will lead them and repay them with comfort, creating for their mourners the fruit of the lips.

Can you say “The Gay Agenda?” Abortion on demand? Marxism? How many things are preached by red letter activists that are not supported from the “Red Letters” of the Gospels? Listen to them and read along.

I have been listening to the broad cast and it was fascinating. By the way, thanks for weighing in Donny. We can always rely on you to be consistent.

Donny: The gay agenda (as told to me by an actual gay person)– 1. Pick up dry cleaning 2. Cut grass 3. Make dinner. 4. Pray that someday the Christians in this country start walking the walk and treat EVERYONE with a little common decency and respect accorded by basic human dignity. 5. Walk dog.
