Not sure what his life was like. Scripture doesn’t tell us. The bible doesn’t even tell us where he came from. I simply know he must have had a troubled life, given the fact he was being crucified, next to our Savior. “Jesus remember me when you enter your kingdom”. Eight…
So I use to be an addict! I’m sure that statement caught you off guard. You may be thinking – this is a surprise! Without hesitation I could raise my hand and say “Hi my name is Perry and I am an addict”. I’m pretty safe in saying we all could. People have a universal…
He laughs. He lovingly laughs. I can’t find it in scripture, but I know God lovingly laughs, at his children. He laughs as he says – “make your plans, go ahead and nourish your dreams… your hopes… but don’t forget that I have my own plans for your life. I have my own dreams for…

Thursday was a day just like any other. Same routine. No appointments. A day to laugh and spend time with my work family. Lunch was relaxing. Then as I made my way back to my desk… in a matter of seconds… life took a dramatic turn. A young man that has a very special place…
