I’ve run for as long as I can remember but at one point I lost my love for running and quit for a short period.   The last few years I picked it back up because I felt the need to lose some weight and a desire to get healthier in my ‘aging’ years!   My running on the road had been drudgery.   I set some goals,...

Happy Father’s Day.   I find myself struggling to pen this weeks pastors desk.   I have a lot of emotions and feeling due to the fact that my father passed last year - this will be my first father’s day without my father.   I have had many more men besides my father (‘dad’) that have been very influential...

Humility.   “The feeling or attitude that you have no special importance that makes you better than others; lack of pride.”   Latin word humilis , meaning “low.”   Humility is not a quality in the white house nor demonstrated much in our society but should be a quality for those that profess Christ.  ...
