The Value Of Life
The Value Of Life
By Mariel Roersma
Each and every life has value. From the moment we come into this world to the moment we leave it, our life has meaning, purpose, and value. And I don’t think enough people realize that.

Whoa--Just What Got Opened?!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
Did a keg of worms get opened by the blog on Healing in the Name of Jesus? No, hopefully, what was opened were eyes, and hearts to something not seen before. Hopefully it opened us to Faith and what does it mean to BELIEVE!
