Hello again �

On this, the month of my birth, and the 85th year of my life, I wish to post this very significant resume, as a testimony to the one who has been in my employ all of the days of my life. If He is not the employ of yours, I urge you to invite Him into your life. If you have already done so, rejoice with me for His contribution to our lives and count your blessings!

March Wendellism

March Wendellism To you who follow this column regularly, you are cognizant of my distress over the �Church & State� controversy. The general public and some of the national judicial concept of the aforementioned principal has no basis in fact.
