Just Us
We will also remind you that this is just a BLOG…just the highlights. We don’t sit around happily smiling for pictures all day long.  Our life is far from perfect: we are imperfect people serving a perfect God.  We do strive to glorify God, but we fail miserably and find comfort in knowing that our debts have been paid and we have been set free.
