I feel sorry for people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ
A week and a half ago I had a spiritual experience that can only come from a personal relationship with God through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. It involved a semi, the stars and a familiarity with the Bible. It began with my agreeing to take another delivery run to west Texas. There were… Continue reading I feel sorry for people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ
