  • Do not let a crisis go to waste.

    Do not let a crisis go to waste. Let this time be a time that, we the church, show the world that we have a hope and a rock on which we stand. We’ve heard the saying “do not let a crisis go to waste” from a certain group of individuals. They state it so…

    In this season, why do you question? Why? This season I have brought you to, is a season of pruning and growth. Can a tree blossom without the winter? Can the tree grow roots deep, without the drought and cold of those seasons? This season is that time for you. It is season of growth.…

    Observation of a Parent, Coach, and Fan of Youth Baseball

    Baseball… America’s pastime! What history! From Babe Ruth’s home runs, to Cal Ripken’s legendary games played, baseball is a game for everyone.
