We have reached a time in our country when trust is nearly nonexistent. As a Pastor, from time to time, I will counsel married couples. Any problem can be solved if trust is still in play.

To The Graduates Of 2020
We had the pleasure of attending my granddaughter Brooklynn's High School Graduation Ceremony last week. The local homeschool group hosted the event. Our State Senator, Phil Boots, gave the speech.
