You read your Christmas cards like I do, I look for something personal, something that makes the ‘Merry’ of Christmas a pleasant smile. The cards mostly follow a form, merry or happy something.

We have Thanksgiving for gluttony.” He shot back with, we have labor day for sloth. My sister-in-law said that self… Read more →
We had an amazing trip to India. You can see some pictures here and some more here while still more here. About 26 European church leaders when to see what we could learn from our Indian brothers and sisters. I think that we were all humbled by their extreme emphasis on prayer. Those who start churches will often spend eight… Read more →
