Since we had to cancel church due to the thin, but dangerous ice coating, I am thinking about my message concerning the Tree of Life. The more I read and study scripture, the more I realize the significance of the symbolism. Today, we are confined due to the ice, but that does not confine our

Yes, I am on a rampage. I grew up reading. My school was rural and small. I only had about 13 in my class, but I read. I read almost every book that sat on the shelves in my classrooms of Bellflower Elementary. I read what was available. This morning I started looking up information

Today was filled with sunshine. Despite all the negatives that fills the TV news and social media, nothing can soothe one as much as sunshine. Actually sunshine does not soothe as much as it energizes. I would suggest that if all of us remembered the rule of thumb of 30 minutes out doors, we would
