a daily dose of Quotes!
I decided rather than a guest post today we would have a guest website … sorta. What better way to celebrate Memorial Day than to think back and remember those things which have affected and shaped us into who we are today; those things, events, and people we treasure the most. In this case, it is turning back to the rich heritage of Christianity that has gone before us, leaving a trail of books, quotes, and examples behind. Read more
