What a great day we had today. Over the past few Sundays, my wife and I have been substituting in various Sunday School classes. Today was no exception.

Most of you have heard the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand. This is one of the many miracles that Jesus performed while he was here on earth. Immediately following this miracle, Jesus sent his disciples off to get some rest away from the crowds. Jesus also sent crowds home. After everyone had left [...]

Todd Agnew’s, Do You See What I See? I love this CD. We have only had it for about a week. Todd’s music is refreshing because is different. I loved his “Reflection of Something.” It was very bluesy. In a radio interview last year, he talked about how we always tell the Christmas story the [...]
