Today I have been wrestling with a thought that I just can’t shake. Who am I? I have been thinking about it over and over again. I met with Dennis Finch and he told me that I don’t have to impress anyone. I just have to let Christ live through me. that is a reallyContinue reading “Who Am I?”

Monday Morning Reflections
This weekend was action packed for me. First off, my son Judah, was sick. He wasn’t holding on to any of his food. So he was pooping and puking and it was horrible.

Old Songs Fond Memories
So the other day I went to half price books. Someone donated a whole bushel of books to the church and it has been deemed my responsibility to sell, give away, these books, and the proceeds will go to the Student Ministry. Great deal for us.

What a great Night
So I’m sitting here listening to music, reading commentaries on Ecclesiastes, and just thinking about how Big God is and how small I am, and I must say, I’m glad that I follow Him.
