Enjoying the People in Your Life (1 of 7)
Series: Home Improvement
M. Kenneth Lyon
Philippians 1:3

You know, your eyes are glazing over and what you'd really like to say to them is "Does your train of thought have a caboose?" Or taking a line from that wonderful country song when somebody's just nit picking, ni ...
