The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the Lord; he guides it wherever he pleases. People may be right in their own eyes, but the Lord examines the heart. The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just, than when we offer him sacrifices. Proverbs 21: 1-3 [...]

Being from St. Louis, I tend to lean toward liking any team of Cardinals that I happen to run across. I must admit to being old enough to remember the only fun days when the football Cards were were half-way decent. Anyone else remember Jim Hart to Mel Gray or the Cardiac Cards? So even [...]
