During last night’s worship service, leaders from the Salvation Army presented an award to FBC for being the top group (all churches, civic organizations, institutions, etc) in the tri-county region for ringing the bell at their kettle stations during the Christmas season. You’ll remember we covered both entrances to the Wal-Mart at the mall each… Read More »

Grace Changes Everything
The CBS evening news ended its broadcast last night with video of the new Pope holding and kissing a young boy with down syndrome. It was a beautiful scene that moved a lot of people. When kindness and love are demonstrated, it always moves people. It changes hearts and attitudes. Lives can be transformed by… Read More »

You’ve Got To Be Kidding?
It’s a good thing I don’t live in Oklahoma City. Last week a five year old kindergartner was forced to turn his shirt inside out while at school. The reason…are you ready…it was a University of Michigan shirt. That’s right. The city school system enacted rules in 2005 restricting clothing after receiving suggestions from a… Read More »
Busy Families and Busy Churches
A recent survey published in USA Today indicated that 66% of kids in American today are playing on two or more sports teams at the same time.
