A Challenge

Thought for the day I’ve been challenged lately along a particular line of thinking. I was reading a book entitled “Divine Healing” and Andrew Murray points out that the salvation Christ offers us is not for our souls only, but for our bodies as well.

Saying Goodbye…Sort Of

Today we celebrated Pat’s life. She was a very kind woman and will be greatly missed. This was the kind of “goodbye” that was easier to say, because we were only truly saying “see you later”. Pat leaves big shoes to fill, and I’m not sure anyone is up to the task. She was definitely […]
