Don’t you just love the innocence of children? Sometimes it’s downright hilarious, and other times, it’s as scary as can be. Below are some letters written by children to their Pastor. Dear Pastor, I know God loves me but I wish He would give me an “A” on my report […]
Trust and Obey!

Live long. Live healthy. Live happy!
I recently met a 90 year old man in Cabela’s while picking up some needed items for deer season that is quickly approaching. (a little excited!) His energy and enthusiasm for life was so infectious. I couldn’t help but admire him and desire to be that active when I turn […]
