Go Tell It On The Mountain

It’s the third Sunday of Advent and it’s time we should sing that song “Go Tell It on the Mountain”! Well — not necessarily from a mountain — that would mean we’d have to go climbing! Perhaps we can start right here on level ground to be joyful and full of the good news of…

Tis’ So Sweet To Trust in Jesus

How sweet it’s been to spend the week with my precious mother-in-law. This trip to Tulsa gave us the opportunity to share and visit about so many things. I was able to query her about her early years of love and marriage and life — something I should have asked about long ago. FYI —…
