What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?  You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.  When you...

The week has a way of catching up with us, and by Friday the Nischan house is dragging out of bed and then RUSHING to get out the door... I had to sit and take one minute to say "I love you all," and I'll write tonight when my head is clear and my heart is open. Live...
