Revelation 13:7-8 "And Satan was given power to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and the power was given him over all kindreds and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world." If any person is reading their Bible as they ought, it will equip them to know a lot about what will be seen in the future of this world age.

What is a unit price? Unit prices tell you the cost of one unit, such as an ounce. Some grocery stores have the unit price on a label on the shelf edge right under the package. Some stores do not do this. To figure the unit price yourself, divide the price of the product by the number of ounces, pounds, etc.

Love isn’t static. It grows or dwindles. As a couple repeats the vows, they have happy visions of what is to be. They will share rich experiences, gladly make sacrifices for each other, serve each others needs in total unselfishness. When it does, love grows. On the other hand, if selfishness elbows its way into the relationship, love will begin to wither.

Usually during the holidays or spring break or when our family gets together my wife will get out a jigsaw puzzle and the family will work on it together. I am more of a observer than worker. It is interesting to watch how children and adults work on a puzzle.

It’s Sunday and I feel like I’ve been run over by a raunchy steer, or like Wayne Powell, a runaway hay bale! Russ and I zipped over to Alabama, Thursday evening. Perhaps zipped is not the correct verb to use.

The tennis team competed in state competition in Leander on March 11 I have attended a few tennis matches, but I was still amazed about etiquette and sportsmanship of tennis players and fans.
