A short note about this page:
This is the section where I will be placing essays and studies that are mainly categorized as personal thoughts.
Some of these studies are here only because, at this time, they dont really fit in any one category. When this changes, I will place those files in their appropriate folders.
The other studies are here because soon I will be adding more files which will show the many diverse opinions on some aspects of Christian living. These files will be here for the purpose of prayerful study which will allow you to determine which way God wishes for you to live your life.
