A great reminder of this came last week from my awesome sister who sent [...]

I get fired up when I see someone doing what God created them for! I’ve watched this video probably a dozen times and EVERY time I walk away excited that this guy, Paul Potts, has tapped into one of the things that God created him to do. He’s a simple guy with [...]
