This past week our family spent the week along with 24 other members of our church on a mission trip in the Williamsburg, Kentucky area.

Why every Christian should go on a mission trip
“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; andContinue reading “Why every Christian should go on a mission trip”

“I will praise the Lord who counsels me — even at night my conscience instructs me. I keep the Lord in mind always.

On several recent occasions, I have overheard conversations among people about their investments. Sometimes people share about their investment adviser, and other times they discuss the latest stocks that have performed well. There is certainly nothing wrong with attempting to invest wisely – I do it myself. However, we must remember that the most importantContinue reading “The best investment advice”
Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a day that America has set aside to remember those who died while serving our country in the armed forces. From what I have read, Memorial Day originated after the Civil War as an effort to remember those who had fallen in that way, and by the turn of the 20th centuryContinue reading “Memorial Day”
