Five of the Best Words in Sports

Pitchers and catchers report tomorrow! For the WORLD CHAMPION St. Louis Cardinals anyway. For the Cardinals, it could almost be “catchers report tomorrow” as there are many question marks about the pitching staff. With many injuries, trades, free agents, etc. it should be an interesting Spring Training in Florida for the Redbirds. It is good […]

New CHURCH VISIT Category

Along with our Regeneration process, we are not having Sunday morning services (WHAT??? Can you do that??) so that we can visit other churches in our area to see how we can make our place better.? There are SO MANY great churches around here that we feel are “getting it done,” that we want our […]

Monday Morning Reflections

The saying holds true, “you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” (Sang in the 80s hair band style!) I really missed being together with our people when we had to cancel last week.

Monday Morning Reflections

All I can say about yesterday is . . . WOW! I felt as if there was not much more that God could do to help make the day any better! Our morning service was really unbelievable! Our band did such a great job leading us in worship as well as Paige helping me with […]
