One Year Ago…
On this day, one year ago, my family and I had just returned home from a wonderful two-Sunday visit with Mayfair Bible Church. From our little homestead in North Carolina, we prayerfully and excitedly awaited the news of the coming Sunday’s congregational vote.

5-Way Change
Change. It’s a word many people equate on the level with a root canal. However, I love and embrace change. I always have.
