Jesus’ lineage was far from perfect.

Just a few thoughts

·       I cannot give you a formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure, which is: try to please everybody. -- Herbert Bayard Swope

·       "When you create a difference in someone's life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime. No act is ever too small. One by one, this is how to make an ocean rise." -- Danielle Doby

·       May Pope Francis, celebrating his 86th birthday today, continue to be filled with the vigor of the Holy Spirit and be blest with steady health.
