A man who holds true to what he believes in a way that disagrees with your beliefs is thought to be stubborn. But if what he believes is pleasing to the lord, well, then it’s faithfulness.  There is a fine line now, a stubborn man will stick to his guns long after he’s been proven…

Prelude I must confess that I’ve been too harsh towards the wolves found in the midst of church. Deep inside, I forgive them, I care for them, and I want them to find help. I just might not have been good at demonstrating this. Victims have very difficult decisions to make. I come across as…

You can watch the trailer here! It currently has 1,133 views and 5 map reviews.  I’ve done all I can; now it’s up to the audience. Let’s see what they say. Most maps make about three thousand dollars and disappear. A select few make 10K or more. And an even greater select few make a…
