We're also a multi-site church, so we have other pastors on other campuses who want to read the message before the video plays on the weekend services. So it just works better for me.

A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.

Stay strong! Your test will become your test-imony, your mess will become your mess-age.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day.
