Sermons The preacher's words winnow the air. Pray with your eyes closed. Listen to God singing. Be grateful for birds and breezes. Humility means never carrying an umbrella. Storms are temporary; sunshine is inevitable. Don't let grudges worm into your heart. Live on the heavenly side of your life. When angels come, they come with seeds in their pockets, not money. Time vanishes in eternity. Tombstones are anchors for memories of passed souls. When Jesus comes in the clouds to judge, he will utter one word to each of us. More? or Less?
