You’ve heard of Albert Einstein right? If my memory is correct, he was a pretty smart guy. He came up with a lot of cool equations and had really great hair. But he was also a bit of a odd-bird…check out this quote from Albert:

Full Expression
Ever wonder why God seems to repeat Himself a lot in the Bible? I mean, there are some themes that run through His word over and over and over again.

We’ve got mortgages, retirement worries and mouths to feed. We need to look out [...]
