Everything is About the Ride – the Journey Along the Way
Back in the day there was a TV series called ABC’s Wide World of Sports. This was a seminal chapter in broadcasting that had a huge ripple effect on all that would follow.

3 Things God Gave At Christmas When He Gave Jesus
What Did God Gave this Christmas? In Jesus Christ, God gave us the opportunity for the forgiveness of our sins.
