My pastor (and sweetheart) has been away at conference this week, so I have not had much time to blog. There are five kids around here that keep wanting me to feed them among other things. haha! Anyway, this morning as I was having my quiet time, I decided to make a new prayer list. …
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 We are in a small building project at our house!
