“Freedom is an acquired taste.” ~ Steven Furtick Have heard of people coming to Christ and being “set free” of crazy things? I have. Drugs, alcohol, depression…you name it, I have heard it.

Nightmares Are Dreams Too: A Stone Temple Pilot Crashes
Jesus Christ did not come to make bad people good. He came to make dead people live. Do you ever ask people how their day is? What about those who you work with?
