A little research showed me that Labor Day was begun by and through labor unions and trade organizations. Who knew? However it began, Labor Day celebrates the working man by giving him a day off! I hope you had a holiday and if not, I hope you enjoyed the day Read more…
We did a lot of good and loved on a lot of people in a tangible way at our Inasmuch day. As much as I like to shop, the yard sale was the perfect place for me! I had a great time sorting and arranging the clothes and other donated Read more…
What a great week in our revival. We heard great sermons and lots of terrific music. If you’re like me though, after four straight days of “extras” in my schedule, I bet you’re tired. Added to that, I had bus duty the week before and then this past Thursday I Read more…
