• A New Chapter

  Sunday Morning. Memories. Decisions. Going to church was difficult this morning. The past week has been hard on our congregation with two funerals in one week. Then the night before my family got the news we were waiting for. As I said in Sunday School it was a double whammy. Tears and memories of this…
