I love, love, love, this message. “Somethings just never get old.”

What are those things for you?

I actually was given a funny example for today’s message. It was maternity clothes. Most women can not wait until the “baby bump” actually looks like they are pregnant…not just putting on weight. That hasn’t changed. What has changed is how we present it via the clothes we wear. […]
