MAKING YOUR LIFE COUNT
Part II
Philippians 2:19-30
Thank you Marci, when I think about summer and feel the heat
outside, I have a flashback. Do you ever have these flashbacks

was a guard that was a pulling guard and every once in while you
could pull and go and run with the running backs and knock
somebody on their "blessed assurance" as you moved along the
line. But I really wanted to play defense.
