  • As We Wait

    Who likes to wait? Raise your hand.  For the most part, as a society, we don’t like to wait. Just ask the waitress that gets yelled at because the food took 5 minutes too long to get to the table. Now how many of you like a really good rack of ribs? The best ones……

  • We Are Light

    You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way let your light shine before men, that……

  • Tenth Round

    Is your well empty?  Is it just a sprinkle and not free flowing? Are you tired, not physically but spiritually? Not tired or weary of doing good but tired of stuff? You’ve been in the boxing ring so long with just short breaks you feel you are in the tenth round barely standing – and……

  • Until All Are Free

    Over the last 3 years, I’ve been involved in anti-human trafficking efforts throughout Lexington and Richland Counties.  Human trafficking, simply stated, is the exploitation of a person’s vulnerabilities for commercial gain.  This includes commercial sex acts and forced labor, especially from anyone under the age of 18.  On the forefront of global efforts is the……
