STORIES AND REFLECTIONS
Family reunions — they are just like ice cream sundaes — mostly sweet with a few nuts. Oh but how fulfilling! We had our share recently during our Spring Break getaway. This year once again we traveled to Peachtree City, Georgia to…
The events of this weekend wrap up Holy Week. Tomorrow we remember the day Jesus was crucified – – Good Friday. Good Friday? Right, I know, some are confused by its name, but the sad commemoration of Christ’s crucifixion and death remind us that…
This Sunday, April 5th, is Palm Sunday, a prelude to Holy Week. A day commemorating Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem, where crowds rejoiced and greeted Him with waving palm branches. Shortly thereafter, His journey to the cross began. Who would’ve thunk it? Certainly not those…
