Insights from God in regard to puppies, watches, and technical problems.
As a teenager, my father told me about an answered prayer. As a watchmaker, he misplaced a tiny part while he was cleaning a watch. Frustrated after a long search, he paused for a minute and prayed. He told me that his hand moved across the desk and lifted a small cover, and the missing … More “Insights from God in regard to puppies, watches, and technical problems.”
We can break up our body into cells. And we can break up cells into atoms. Furthermore, we can break up atoms into protons, neutrons, and electrons. We can break up protons into…..?
I was a bad Samaritan
