We have many Alabama connections in our congregation, and here’s a tangible way you can help. Donelson Christian Academy has a coach with connections to those in Alabama, and is familiar [...]
As I write this, I’m sitting in my driveway. Yes, I have other places to work, but right now my 2 year old is asleep in the car, and well, who am I to wake up a napping toddler? So, I’m sitting in my driveway, catching up on some work. As I just looked out [...]
