Gospel Living

Nice title, huh?  Well, stick with me. Understand that I haven't been keeping up-to-date on all of my blog feeds, so imagine my surprise when I saw Joel Osteen welcoming " one of the great voices of our generation " and acknowledging how God is doing in her life... you know what I mean: Oprah was on .
