Commencement!!!

WOW, Deac families – you really pulled it off. I thought we were going to be in a really precarious position relative to the threat of storms. And you heard me when I asked for you to send up prayers, invocations, supplications, and anything else […]


A peek behind the curtain – part 2

A peek behind the curtain
