Positive thoughts from a Christian Perspective

  • Getting Things Done with God

    The church where our little congregation meets was built in 1935. Now, to my friends in the UK, where there are churches and castles centuries old, 87 years isn’t all that much.😊 As you can see, the exterior of the church is getting a face lift. Over eight decades of south-central USA weather have taken…

  • He Gives More Grace
