I’m A Senior Citizen
I’m the life of the party …even when it lasts until 8:00 p.m. I’m very good at opening childproof caps with a hammer. I’m usually interested in going home before I get to where I’m going. I’m good on a trip for at least an hour without my aspirin, beano, antacid . I’m the first […]

A Review of Tom Wright’s Surprised by Hope by Mike Crowl, Sep 21, 2008 Wright has several things he wants to put across in this book, but there are two particular ones that stand out for me. Firstly he wants to encourage the church to change its view of what happens to us after death, […]
