Letters from Roscoe – All In?

All in? Howdy everyone.  It’s been a while, this may be a bit of a rambler, and by that, I don’t mean the car. Anyway, here goes.  When Cindy and I got married, we both went ‘All In’.

Daily Devotional – No Strings Attached

No Strings Attached By Billy Graham   •   July 20, 2016  Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. —2 Corinthians 9:15 A gift is not a gift unless it is accepted.
