Under the pressure of competition crowding him out of his family's pub and the need to protect his children from the ruins of a bad marriage, he barely breathes. His life flows from one crisis to the next. The unconditional friendships it offers, the protective roof it provides, and the spark that its owner ignites in her - melting the frost off her heart, and slowly stripping away her resistance. Holding her secrets close, she can't resist the comforting draw coming from The Skipper. ![]() ![]() Thinking herself beyond redemption, she tentatively grabs on to the slim thread of hope that unfolds inside of her.

If you're ready for something more exhilarating than skydiving, arguably more scary, and infinitely more productive, try preaching the gospel in public.

If we are serious about reaching this dying world, let us emulate Jesus and the apostles and preach where sinners gather. We too are living in the midst of a godless society, and those in the streets desperately need to hear God's Word. In the midst of a godless culture, Paul did what was necessary to reach the masses with the message of everlasting life: he reasoned about Jesus "in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there" (Acts 17:17) and preached on Mars Hill, on the main route to the Parthenon in Athens. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Lying out loud book![]() And immediately ran to watch the film □ #currentlyreading #booktok #tbr #bookblogger #readingvlog #bookworm #books #bookbloggersoftiktok #whatsthispersonreadingrightnow #bookreviewer #readingupdate #november #tbrpile #readmytbr #TBR #theduff".
