Some Thoughts About Yesterday…
Sundays are the best day of the week. As most preachers do on Mondays, I find myself reflecting on my work from the day before. I make notations about the lesson(s) and file them away. Did I do my job well? Did I accomplish the task I set out to do? Was God glorified? Was…
