I recently wrote a hymn. You can access it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It0MqY3TPZ4 .

How Are We To Live?
Darrell B. Harrison recently tweeted (or is it “posted” now?) a challenge to read Colossians 3:1-17 daily. I didn’t see the original post, but rather a follow-up post he made, but since then I have been doing this.
