Many of our church families have recently moved into new homes. I’m so very happy for them as I sense their excitement over their new place! It reminded me of how happy Janet and I were when we first moved into our current house 8 years ago. We are still very thankful for our home […]
I did something stupid. While cutting the lawn, I put my hand near the lawnmower blade to clear away stuck grass while it was still running! The blade hit my index finger, and I instinctively withdrew it. For a split second, I dreaded looking at my finger fearing that it might not be there! But […]
