Death Does Not Come Easy in Papua New Guinea

February 8, 2016

They dug the hole deep. In the bottom a cave was dug to place the body protecting it from the spear of the evil spirit that would come looking later. Even in death they still are haunted by the spirits of the dark side of life. This was 1977 early years for this young new […]

On the List

February 7, 2016

Many moms have a list in their kitchen for their next shopping trip, things like: flour, sugar, potatoes, coffee, and so on.

You Have Waited To Long

Seminar and Disciple with Disciples

Pray About the Coumadin

As many of you know Gene has been taking Coumadin (Warfarin) for a number of years now and has been self-monitoring his blood coagulation via a meter made by Roche that uses test strips.
