March 3, 2024 Malcolm in the Middle is a TV show from 20 years ago that I enjoyed watching. It’s about a family with 4 kids. The Mom, Lois, thinks she’s always right.

Listening to God: Prepare to be Transformed!
January 21, 2024 Since we’re learning to study the Bible, here are a few Bible jokes: At what time was Adam created? A little before Eve! What did Adam say on the day before Christmas?

Be Afraid, But Follow the Dream Anyway!
December 30, 2023 I love Christmas: it’s the beautiful story of how Jesus came to be born on earth. When you think of Christmas, maybe you think of generosity, joy, love, or peace.
