Life isn’t about waiting for the storm; it is about learning to dance in the rain

Dear Friends and Family:

Blogger’s Corner:

From Tricia:
Sherry W is having surgery on her hand on June 26th. Please keep
her in prayer. Tricia

From Blogger Bud:

Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed and another suit to end prayer from the military completely? They’re making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus’ name in prayer thanks to the retched ACLU and our new administration.
