Growing Under The Embers of Church
Sometimes God sets us on a new course in a different setting. The first time we came to a service at Fellowship was on a Wednesday Night. Preacher Dean that particular evening hadn’t felt inspired with a message. It was short and sweet. I think we did more talking than anything that evening. A pianist…

Defining An American Woman: Dr. Cutchin
One of the first women who came to mind was Professor Claudine Cutchin. She was my advisor and the head of the History Department when I was in College. She was a superwoman or at least she gave off that vibe. This woman left a legacy through her students. I am grateful for her personal…

Loving Words… Feedback
Yesterday was a big day for me. Back when I was in college I day-dreamed of being able to have all of my Grandpa’s siblings together to talk about his service time. It was important to me and I did get to speak individually to some of them, but not necessarily the way I wanted…
