Can’t Grow Unless You Feed Your Spirit
by Kevin Burton OK class, that’s lunch! We’ve been through five classes at our Earthly School for the Spiritually Blind. It’s time to refuel. Since this is ESSB we’re not talking about cheeseburgers and tater tots. We’re talking about feeding our spirit. What an outrage it would be if schools did not …
Singing In Praise Of God, For His Glory
by Kevin Burton With all due respect to all the singing going on in the Psalms, my favorite singers in the Bible are the Earthquake Singers. OK, so I made that title up. The singers are not recorded in the Bible as such. But some of you know what I am talking about: …
