THE NINETIES

“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10 NKJVB) Monday night I attended a Zoom birthday for my aunt who turned 90 years old.  On my PC screen it showed that there were nearly 90 well-wishers who attended.  This virtual celebration, well deserved, lasted about 90 minutes.  The accolades were...

THE TWO BORDERS OF INTENT
