What if It’s Not All About You – But Him?
Several years ago, on a snowy, gray November afternoon, I was in the mood for a tearjerker. I searched for “tearjerker movies” on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 2-star film popped up.

Take Your Guide’s Advice
Psalm 25, Verse 8-10 (NASB 1995): “Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way.
