Do you need a personal trainer? Most of us would probably be better off if we had someone planning, scheduling, and pushing us toward healthy diet and exercise. There is certainly “some value” in considering and pursuing that. The Bib...

“You have as much laughter as you have faith.” - Martin Luther I suspect that “Lord, help!” praying is more common than “Lord, You make me laugh!” praying. That is understandable when we take our needs to Him,...
