…because I have found my lost…wallet! Ok…I know that’s not the direct quote from Luke 15: 6 or 9…but it’s how I feel anyway! I mentioned in worship that I had misplaced my wallet sometime Saturday night…not a happy thought just days before we head off...
Happy Friday y’all…or Saturday morning if that’s when you check your emails… I’m loving the rain & I’m sure a few farmers & ranchers are too, but this nice extended wet cycle forces us to hit the “Pause” button on the Picnic. As much as I would...
I trust you remembered when you got out of bed this morning that the Easter announcement is still true! He is Risen! He is risen indeed! I’m going to do all I can to help you remember that over these next few weeks in the season of...
