The Caleb Spirit in 2012
Tuesday, January 3, 2012

Testament. When others seemed to lose hope, he offered encouragement to them.
A Year to Remember
Tuesday, December 27, 2011
This can be the most wonderful time of the year if we

is called the Advent.

the face of these discouraging situations.

Today: An Interview
Thursday, October 16, 2011

calendar, staying morally and ethically pure, reading the latest books, keeping
family time balanced, and running things smoothly in one's ministry. I am
convinced this means staying in touch with Lord and with yourself in such a way
that you make the right decisions and lead in the right direction.
