Some people think they are so slick! And they may very well be. Sadly though, with regards to where they apply themselves, for what purpose or gain, they’re second-rate! Shakes his head. For example there are some very brilliant drug dealers and criminals out there – but look at what their efforts and accomplishments amount to!

God doesn’t need to do things the wrong way and even if he did he wouldn’t. The greatest outcomes of all start and end with the choices we make which set things in motion -win or lose [chuckles], we’ve already won by playing by God’s rules!

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON
Jesus conversion rate was probably around 50%. We’re lucky if we can get 10!
If they treated Jesus the way they did what can the rest of us expect? Well I guess it depends on what side of humanity you’re on! Jesus was on the side of good and right and that didn’t go over so well with about half the people.

THE RUMOR MILL
Not nearly enough people once made privy to a rumor stop to question the validity of the story.
On rumors regarding yours truly, “If you didn’t get my side of the story (or others subject to…) then it never happened -it’s simply untrue!
