Sunday mornings, I have the privilege of teaching the Pre-K class during the Adult Bible Fellowship hour. We have so many good conversations, we have our Bible story, and we sing. After a round of Father Abraham, we usually sing the well-known songs – Jesus Loves Me and The BIBLE. Simple truths not just for…

I am almost at the end of reading through the book of Ezekiel, and the reading has not been easy for me. The book is full of Ezekiel’s personal experiences, some of which were difficult. One passage that caught my eye was when his wife died, he was not permitted to mourn for her! Also,…

This past year, I have been especially frustrated with my to do list, which seems to continuously grow even though I am continuously working on making it shorter. I am guessing you have felt that way sometimes too. I have thought through the summer for a plan of how to accomplish things in a better…
