The House
Last weekend Janet and I visited our friends Randy and Heidi Jumper at First Assembly of God in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Randy heads up The House, First Assembly’s young adult ministry. On some Friday nights the ministry holds a prayer meeting they call Sanctuary. Jan and I attended an hour-long session that dealt with Peace and Love as fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Randy encouraged us all to express love to the people in the “Contacts” list of our cell phones by calling or texting them to let them know what they mean to us. (Non-tech folks could receive…
