I don’t know exactly how to title this, so I’ll start writing and see where it leads. This happened at church today. There was a take-back to last week. Let’s start with last week. At the end of our service … Continue reading →

I’m Tired

Posted on 2024/06/17 by JimR, Chaplain

That title sounds like a negative confession. Maybe, maybe not. My mind is still going well. My body? That’s another story. A year ago my wife and I embarked on our last huge project. We built a deck. A huge … Continue reading →

Give It Up

Posted on 2024/01/20 by JimR, Chaplain
