That’s when a man inside the house was armed and began firing at the group of suspects, striking one of them. Authorities say the rest of the suspects ran off from the area.

Be ye angry, and sin not
Is anger in itself a sin? This verse seems to tell us that it is not, but can lead to sin. Ephesians 4:26-27 says, Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. If we Christians are allowed to be angry, then what […]
Girsan 2311 Brat
The Turkish company Girsan has released a stubby 2011 pistol chambered in either 9mm or 45acp. Both pistols feature a short 3.4″ barrel and full size grips, with 17 round capacity (9mm) and 11 round capacity (45acp).

“Did I really just see what I just saw?”
This story from Polk County, Florida highlights the need to properly process a situation after waking up. It was just after 11:30 p.m. Tuesday when Coles said he woke up to the sound of his dog barking. “He actually had my daughter’s book bag on,” John Coles said. “As I looked out of my room […]
Psalm 143
Reading this week took me to Psalm 143: In particular, verse 8 touches me. “Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning.” Amen. This is a prayer I’ll be saying for the next few days. Many mornings are filled with the activities of life. But to wake and hear the Lord’s love is a […]
