My Father’s Day Gift

June 15, 2011July 8, 2020Mary Jo9 Comments on My Father’s Day Gift

Friday night’s service was something I’ll remember always. The faces, the sounds, the tears, the joy and the unyielding confidence that rose from being where I was meant to be. As I mentioned I learned late in the game what I was supposed to speak on.…
