• 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…

• This Morning

  Watching the coverage of this Election Years Republican National Convention has been a balm for my soul. Saturday’s attempt to silence my Presidential Candidate was simply too close. I still can’t let myself go to that sinking hole of what could have happened. God is still more powerful than the devil. When I woke up…

My mom remembers when it was torn down and wishes they had done more to stop that from happening. Life happens though…

• Fellowshipping With Kindred Spirits

  One thing I have learned in this world is that no Church is perfect. However, God’s Church is the people not the building. After Christ was crucified it took a long time before Churches became as important as Synagogues. They met in homes for the most part. Life is difficult enough when you don’t have…
