Choices equal reality

This morning I was reading the devotional that my good friends Tim and Lori Winders gave me , and it spoke of how our decisions affect our lives.  And that decisions must be made to push us into forward action.    Interesting—how often do we sit on the fence?  I really love it when people just make [...]
