Despair turned to Hope!

Despair turned to Hope! Our Lord has a different way of looking at things. And when Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, he said, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had … Continue reading

When death comes knocking

Good Morning! I have been thinking this morning about the elder of the church in Cadiz KY who encountered death along with his wife and daughter as they returned home from church services.

Two confirmed cases among those who cared for the first case here, one more possible, schools closing just from the possibility that someone may have come in contact. Fear is ramping up.

Now two confirmed and another rumored to have contracted … Continue reading

Do you believe this?’” John 11:25-26 There is a resurrection coming. Although we see death around us everyday and we … Continue reading
