You’d Think This Would Be Easy…

Our Sunday evening service tonight began a little differently than usual. It wasn’t easy. Pastor Wayne Burggraff started us off with a quiz…   1) How long did the Hundred Years War last? 2) Which country makes Panama hats? 3) From which animal do we get catgut? 4) In which...

Our Days are Numbered

I thought the bulletin that our church gave out today, the end of Daylight Savings time was very appropriate. 🙂 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalm 90:12
