Comes in droves….

The last several days I have been dealing with a feeling inside that has been hard to explain.  I am thankful for taking my “Loss and Grief” class, as it has allowed me to or maybe it is better put, forced me to explore these feelings rather than dismiss them.  Normally I might just let … [Read more…]

Don, Rest in Jesus’ arms until we see each other again

Over the weekend I was told about a member from my congregation that had passed away.  I knew he was sick and had been in hospice care for a few months now.  When I first heard that he most likely would pass very soon, I said a prayer for him.  Don attend our services regularly.  He … [Read more…]
