The October Message [2oo7]
One Saturday night a pastor was working late and decided to call his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife did not answer the phone even though he let it ring many times.

A few months ago, I received an interesting e-mail entitled, “20 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity”.
