Joy. Hosea. Brie Larson. Architects of the West Kingdom.

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!I’ve been preaching … about the joy we find in Jesus. And maybe that’s the problem with unhappy Christians — they aren’t really “in Jesus” in the first place.I’ve been reading … Hosea — a book about a man determined to make his marriage work despite his wife’s best efforts. Fidelity is a word seldom used and seldom practiced today, it seems.I’ve been hearing … people don’t like Brie Larson. I’m trying to stay neutral, but she certainly doesn’t seem to care how she comes across. Reminds me of some Christians I know.I’ve been playing … Architects of the West Kingdom. Find a strategy, and stick with it. It’s what I’ve done all my life as a Christian; I’m not sure why it took so long for me to do it in board games. Check out Hal on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@halhammons9705Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.
