A few years ago Starla and our kids were walking through the petting zoo exhibit at the Texas State Fair. I saw this Sow (Momma pig) nursing her little piglets. They were tough on their Momma. They fought each other and were extremely rough with each other and their […]
Timing is Everything!
Someone said, “Timing is everything.” In fact, Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything under the sun.” The key is knowing the right time to speak and the right way to say it. Today’s word is timing. For instance, when I said to the young […]
