  • Connecting with Ancestors

    Sitting quietly this morning I thought, I connect with Sarah’s mom, my mom, and my grandmother but I don’t connect with Sarah’s dad David or my grandfather Eddie, two men who were positive role models in my life.

  • Take Me Where You Dwell

    The third event I want to share happened within two months of my salvation experience and after my out-of-body experience. Durng a Sunday morning sermon, Pastor Cronquist bragged, “After three hours of prayer, I’m just getting started.” I wanted to find out what he was talking about so when I got home I went straight… Read more
