Earlier this week I stopped at a local restaurant for lunch and two FBC members already seated invited me to join them.

This is my first weekly update on my journey to losing another 20 pounds. As I mentioned Sunday, I got off to an unexpected really good start – because I was sick most of last week.

Sunday Recap 02.01.2015

The Friendship 9
I spent much of this week “sick” and unable to work, but Wednesday I listened to the WRHI radio broadcast of Judge Hayes vacating the “criminal records” of the Friendship 9.

Clouds and Sunshine

Belle and Heaven
“Our sweet Belle is now in Heaven.” With those words Belle’s mom shared with the world that Belle’s five year battle with brain cancer has ended. Now her eternal life in the Father’s House has started. But what is heaven like? When someone dies, we often say they’re now home in heaven. “Home” is a… Read More »
Wow! What a night!
“Wow!” “We were really moved by our prayer time last night.” Those are the opening words of two of the emails I’ve received today about last night’s “TELL GOD YOUR REQUESTS FOR 2015” prayer event. As members quietly moved among the twelve prayer stations at their own pace it was obvious God was touching hearts.… Read More »
Let’s Make It A Happy New Year
When Monieca and I left KY yesterday morning on our return drive to Rock Hill, the mountains were covered with a beautiful hard frost. The trees glistened and from a distance it looked like snow.
