Mark 2:13-17


INTRODUCTION

I love New York City... I love it for a million reasons... But perhaps the greatest reason is the food... Never in my life have I had this much access to great food.

Think of the joy that a good meal can bring your life...

- A taco from Tacos El Bronco. (Best $2.50 you've ever spent)
