If you haven't learned by now, my problem is keeping studies short. So, let us take a crack at reviewing our Precious Holy Spirit's awesome wisdom.
'And now brethren, let us cast our bread upon the waters.' Sounds like a nice speech from a minister who lived during the 1800's. But joking aside, verse 1 is a beautiful stanza, 'Cast your bread upon the waters, for you wil ...
