“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry” I Timothy 1:12 Life is a journey, learn on the way! This has been part of my signature for the blogs I have written for the church. Jen and I just celebrated 25 years…
Unless you live under a rock, you have probably heard all about the new Disney movie, “Beauty and the Beast” and the drama it has caused, specifically among Christian households. While some have already determined to boycott Disney and other companies that support the LGBT lifestyle, others are left scratching their head wondering how do…
