Heroes

We began our new series, “Heroes” today. Moses was the first character and I think a lot of us struggle thinking he’s either Charlten Hesston from the Cecil B. DeMille movie, “The Ten Commandments,” or, the wirey, prank-pulling, eternally young Moses of, “Prince of Egypt” animated fame. But there’s one thing missing form each of […]

Monroe — The Place to Be!

The 4th!

This year we finally got talked into going to the Waxhaw July 4th celebration. In a word, WOW! The fireworks were pretty cool, but that’s not what wowed me the most. What blew my mind was that it almost felt more like a Southbrook Church celebration than a ‘Waxhaw one! Everywhere we looked there were […]

Long Lost Link Love

Been a while since I gave a shout out to some of the people who have been kind enough to link to me. Some are kindred spirits in thought and belief others don’t agree with me at all but they’ve still let me stir a different thought or two on topics we all could study […]
