“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceeth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. CharityContinue reading “We have the love chapter but who are we supposed to love?”

Trimming and watering
I’m wore out and tired. After two weeks of intensive courses (15 weeks of material in 1 week), I decided to get up today and help my wife have a yard sale while I trimmed bushes and did so much needed grounds keeping around the parsonage and church.
