What Does Your Name-Tag Say?
There are so many names we can be given and give ourselves. The positive names are what we strive for and what God wants for us.

Talk show hosts paraded family members on screen for entertainment and the more obnoxious the better. With the holiday’s fast approaching I see many people talking about their family and using the word dysfunctional.
