The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:16-17) We mourn for the families of that tragic day and pray for them. But may this tragic day be a reminder to us that our life on this earth is short. What are we doing with our today? If TODAY ends for you, where will you spend eternity

A sniper uses a distinct, high precision rifle and is a very sharp shooter.  The Sniper and Satan have a lot in common don't they? Sata
