In This Life

Today’s post was going to be about REM. Maybe tomorrow. I had another thought today as I was perusing Biblegateway.com. When I got married for the first time (yep, there was more than one but there will not be more than two) I planned most of the wedding ceremony. I was working as a bartender [...]

What Will You Do To Work?

I have mentioned more than a few times here that I work for my church in our Care Ministry. Care Ministry, you ask? Do you really care? The answer is yes, yes I do-thanks for asking. We talk to a lot of people in our church and community that are in serious financial need due [...]
