A Father’s Favor
June 16, 2021
Scripture: Genesis 12:1-4 When I was about 12-years-old, I went to my father and told him that I wanted to play organized football in the local park league.

I also remember the hurricanes that would come each summer. Hurricane season occurs during the summer months and when I was a child, hurricanes seemed no more than severe rainstorms.

Words of the Week – Be Thankful Always
November 21, 2018
