Luke 5:24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.” (ESV) Why would this man want to see Jesus? My assumption was the obvious state of his physical body. He…
This is the week of the Golden Age Banquet. There is no way to calculate how many hours of script writing, revising, rewriting, practices, planning and preparation that have gone into what will take place Saturday night for our Livewires!. Mary Poppins was a big box office hit years ago, and there is no doubt…
When I was a child, often times our family vacations were going camping for a week. Many of my favorite childhood memories come from those trips. Swinging on vines, roasting marshmallows, hearing the crickets and fighting off raccoons are all etched into my mind. One favorite family memory is a night we were camping and a terrible…
