Galatians 1:1-5
Ever since I was a little guy watching Picture Pages and the Fat Albert Show, ''Hey, Hey, Hey.'' Bill Cosby has been one of my one of my favorite T.V. personalities.

They try and force pieces from other puzzles in the hole, but they just never seem to fit.
They look to homes/families or relationships with others that are at best unstable.
They search for it in a society that is continually changing. When they finally look right (like everyone else), dress right and have the right style the style changes and they are left to reinvent themselves and re ...
