Be a better man/husband – love like Jesus
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. – Colossians 3:12 We had another productive and provocative discussion this morning in the men’s group I attend.

The Grands Arrive in Richmond!
My apologies for missing yesterday’s post. Interestingly, the archives generated a larger-than-usual number of hits, so I guess there was good stuff to read after all!
