“Just Say NO to Doubt” in 2011!
James 1:6 “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the the wind.”  One of my favorite quotes is “any belief worth having, must survive doubt.”  In most anything we do, how we handle our doubt makes a…
