  • Celebrating Independence on the Fourth {Let Freedom Ring}

    I heard someone say there’s never been a more uncertain time in our country or a time when we were more divided. I say that’s untrue. Remembering the past always gives me hope for the future.

With thanksgiving. Because–again it was hard. A GOOD HARD. It was hard because once again–as believers–as we […]
