First Memories of Church
My parents were married at my mom’s childhood Church. It wasn’t very long though after I was born that we moved to Faith Community Church just south a couple of minutes. Faith was my first Church and it is tied with so many cherished memories. Our Church didn’t have a baptismal so at around 5…

Musical Accountability
As I have been sharing the past couple of weeks; I have been seriously making music a priority again. My fingers are a bit nimbler due to typing, but the piano and the clarinet uses more finesse.
