This is a collection of several thoughts - we've recently started a rigorous 9 month Bible Study called "DISCIPLE", our church is trying to raise money for our Building Fund,  a Daily Devotional from "THE UPPER ROOM" that inspired, & a very interesting Tract called "THE SODOMITE"!!  YOU WILL FIND THIS VERY ENLIGHTENING I THINK!!!! >>CLICK HERE<<  added 11-02-03

I NEVER planned on making this website a "POLITICAL VENUE" - HOWEVER - in the name of EQUALITY & JUSTICE - compare  what 3 Prominent people have to SAY on the Earth-Shattering Supreme Court Decision, & GLBT People in General, the BUSH LETTER TO MCC!!! -  then make an objective assessment for yourself- >CLICK HERE <
