Discounts
Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s. Mark 12:17I love a good discount. Not because I’m such a great bargain shopper, but because I feel like I’m special when I get a deal.

I thank my God every time I remember you. Philippians 1:3 There are some things that, when you think of them, always make you smile. For me I’ll always remember the first time I rode a bike without my dad holding on. I remember the first time I drove a car. My first love. My first sermon. My first house. All of these things make me smile for various reasons. Not necessarily…
