Looking Forward

It is amazing how often times we hit what appears to us as a troubled spot in life. We may face  little struggle, a bump in the road and we are instantly questioning ourselves and the Lord’s plan for us. Sometimes we may go as far as to look back and remember a time in … Read more

Who Are We?

    "And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
