God’s Law vs. God’s Love

by Stephanie Clinton | posted in: Faith | 1

Heart as Hard as Iron

by Stephanie Clinton | posted in: Faith, Faith & Spirituality | 2

  Christmas music.  I love hearing all of the velvet voices of the classic Christmas songs, Nat King Cole easily being my favorite.  I love Harry Conick Jr’s jazzy Christmas piano and the hand-raiser in me warms when I listen … Continued
