MARK J MUSSER

READ: Romans 8:1-11; Ephesians 1:15-23; 3:14-21 Another year is almost near. This means we have yet another chance to make those resolutions. Those things designed to help us be better and do more this coming year. Those things that we hope will make us thinner, happier, healthier, nicer, and richer.
