Day #5- Days 5, 6, and 7 were absolutely amazing!!! The days were early morning till late evening, so we had no time to rest, let alone post. So here’s the skinny. Wednesday morning started early as we drove 20 minutes to Manley High School for a full program of drama, music, puppets, testimonies, and [...]
Day #6- Thursday started at a rough high school that had been dealing with violence daily. In the drama, “Decision,” there is a character that deals with violence and aggression.

Hello…Hello? HELLO?? What on Earth is your problem? Why are you staring at me? Come-on, are you really going to buy into the lie? Why do you allow Satan’s still small voice to reverberate like a trumpet blast in your mind? You preached about the battle; you warned of the testing, why do you lack [...]

A little over 12 years ago, Barby and I walked into the hospital with the nervous excitement of soon-to-be parents as we awaited the birth of our new baby.
