I NEED A WHAT? A Comfort's Food for Thought. Our friends last night felt they were taking a risk asking us to speak about death. It is not a topic people are comfortable discussing! Ted is a man of great discipline. His regularity in doing his exercise routines and in other areas of life is also true in his prayer and Bible reading schedule. He has read the Bible through many times, including this year. His trust in the goodness of God through all experiences of life has helped him in this ti...Well, emo...

I NEED A WHAT? A Comfort's Food for Thought. What do you say when someone dies? For the past nine months I have been on the receiving end of condolences, and either I have remarkably unself-conscious, thoughtful, socially adept, and caring friends (a very likely possibility), or I have chosen to appreciate the fact that they care enough to express their concern and would never knowingly offend me.

I NEED A WHAT? A Comfort's Food for Thought. Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father. From Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son,. Will be with us in truth and love (2 John 1:3). They are a special group of kids. I appreciate my husband, who has encouraged me in my teaching, even though he would have been just as happy for me to stay at home.
