A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."

Our Pastor has been teaching on the motivational gifts on Wednesday nights recently. He finished up last night with the gift of Mercy. I don’t get to hear the Wednesday night service because the choir is in rehearsal during that time so each week I hav…
Today my sisters and I had lunch with our Midwife. Kathy Williams joined us for casserole and fruit salad at Becky’s house in Greenbrier and we had a nice time eating, chatting and playing with the babies she guided into the world.
