A couple months back, I mentioned that our church had finally found a new pastor. I was overjoyed. Last month, he began his tenure at our pulpit.

I’m actually looking forward … Continue reading I love sushi….and Jesus!

This Isn’t What I Had Planned
If 2020 has taught me anything, it’s that things rarely go as planned. I had big plans for my 40th year. “Had” being the operative word in that sentence. COVID came along and wrecked them all. Every.
