Myers: God’s always watching, showing his love

Amy has an old TV/VCR combo she's owned since before we got married. She never uses it anymore, so one day her father took it and hooked up a neat little contraption to it.

MYERS: ‘I love you’ can be a powerful message

Eyes of the Father: Knock, and the door will open

The front door of our church doesn't have a doorknob. Instead, it has a handle with a small thumb latch above it. To open the door, you have to depress the thumb latch until it clicks and pull. That's all. Easy, right?
