...coming out of the "tube" like a MAN chasing "Oreo's & Milk" (smile). Spring Semester is upon "us" -- Little Rock's 'bout to fly "solo" for a few months (smile). Keep US in prayer (smile) http://ses.edu/

We shared a marvelous time of invaluable fellowship with my mentor Pastor Art Snow on Saturday for lunch in Charlotte, then had dinner at our favorite restaurant, Bravo Cuccina on Sunday afternoon. Time to settle in, enjoy the rest of the evening, then head out for a week long intensive module with Dr. Mike Brown ~ "...

Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. " ~ Col 4:5-6 (NASB)

...wants to remind my brothers and sister, don't "allow" your kindness to be mistaken for weakness, les you become a VICTIM. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:", {1 Peter 5:8, KJV}.
