>>When “Old Blue Eye’s” died in May 1998 at the age of 82 everyone agreed: There will never be another Sinatra. Sinatra had an amazing career; he even topped Elvis! He holds the record of 40 consecutive years with a song on the billboard charts. One of those chart topping songs was “I Did It My

You cannot jump across a fifty-foot canyon no-matter hard you try. But if someone built a bridge you could easily walk to the other side.
Christ is our bridge - trust it and stop worrying about whether you can jump far enough to please God. God is pleased because you crossed the

The first thing that I want to say is that I have met some women that would be wonderful deacons and pastors. It is not a matter of ability, but eligibility. I liken this to my daughter; she took AP Government in High School, she probably understood the electoral process better that anyone I knew,

No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
