Well, here it is. I have officially existed on this small planet, in the Milky Way Galaxy for 30 years. When you look at all that God has made, you cannot doubt why David said this in Psalm 8:3, 4: When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the...

Teachable and Humble
I am a just a man: called royalty by the King. [1 John 3:1-3] esv I am a sinner: but lovingly forgiven. [Colossian 1:13-14] nkjv I am not perfect: but completely accepted.
