The butcher just laughs when I point

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

It is hard to believe that I am heading back to the States tomorrow night. The time has just gone by so quickly. It always does when I am in my spiritual home. I have been so blessed to be here and the Lord willing I will be back in the Fall. I went downtown […]

Why didn’t I pay attention in school?

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Yesterday, the world saw former PM Tony Blair appointed envoy to an organization of Muslim states. I am often asked when I speak in congregations who the Antichrist is. I sometimes laugh and say “it is not Prince Charles.” I also tell them, “I don’t care; I will not be here when the Antichrist takes […]

I refuse to give the terrorists more publicity
