“If I Had More Time I Would…”

“Do You Know?”
It’s the question that stirs anxiety. It’s the “in between time” of the doctor saying, “it could be…” and the doctor saying days later, “the test reveals….” It’s the time delay between taking the test and when the scores are posted. It’s the not-knowing. Our todays are full of unknowns. But are they? Think about …

Hurting people hurt people. But there is a choice. Believers are called to deliver His Good News! And what Good News …
When It Happens…
Where do you go…what do you do when the crisis happens? All public buildings have a fire alarm system. They do two things: alert everyone in the building of the emergency and contact the local fire station of the fire emergency. The fire alarm activates the planned response. In school we had fire drills to …
