A Whole New Perspective
My husband and I worked in ministry overseas for 25 years. Once we lived in a country where our house was robbed five times. I always felt anger, fear and insecurity because someone had been in my home without my permission and took many favorite things.

If you are against the idea of leaving your long time home, or still "sitting on a fence" about whether to stay or move, let me give you my perspective on this.

Trash Talk
Okay, so you're a child of God! Have you opened your manual lately? Well then, it's no wonder you can't fight the battle.
