What if I told you “I love you?”

What if I told you, “I love you” every day for a full year?
And what if each day I also reminded you of your past and nagged you about all the things you need to change in your life?

Obama, Jesus, War & Peace

Revisiting “The List”

Pastor Ryan shares a list he worked up this week during his men’s group meeting. I have to say his list is great – and very honest as well.
