End On A High Note

Finally Fender
After however many years it has been in my infamous (which of course means more than famous) guitar career I am now the owner of a Fender Stratocaster.

I’ll mull something over and over (say an event) and days before the event the idea strikes which sets into motion a series of events to [...]
Purses That Don’t Wear Out
Message notes from Sunday:
To obtain purses that do not wear out, to become rich in God, we must first change our attitude and our perspective:
TREASURE HUNTERS
Matthew 6:23-24 (NCV) “The eye is a light for the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are evil, [...]
