    Disappointments will come and we have the choice to let them bury us or buoy us.

    Candlelight service message about spreading the light of Christ.

    Tonight, we gather in the soft glow of candles, but let’s be honest — the world outside doesn’t feel very soft or very glowing right now. There’s enough darkness in the world today.

    [Hold up cell phone.] Yep … we talked a little bit about this handy device last week. More accurately, we talked about one of the apps … the GPS. But there is another little handy app that I use all the time to help me plan my day … The Weather Channel’s Ten Day Weather app which, as the name ...read more
