Yesterday Was A Good Day
Standing backstage behind our church’s platform, I looked at my beautiful Amy sitting in her wheelchair as she got ready to stand up out of it and walk with me to the pulpit. It was the first Sunday morning that we had been able to be together at Meadow since the events of June 16th … Continued
A Politically Incorrect Rant
