40 Years with Jesus
My truck went over 240,000 kms this week. That seemed like a milestone as all the 9’s became 0’s. The sensation didn’t last very long as the next “1” quickly showed up and the moment was lost.

If you could spend a day with anyone, who would it be?
If you could spend a day with anyone, alive or dead, who would it be?
