I tell people that I “swim” six days a week. I spend an hour in the pool. I move up and down a swimming lane in the Olympic pool at the Fontana center. My method is a bit unorthodox. I do it all on my back. […]

Of Lovers, Liars and He Man Woman Haters
Tomorrow morning at Amana Christian Fellowship in Maurice at 9 we will mix Lovers, Liars, and He Man Woman Haters. There will be a confession of lying in church. There will be an attempt to recruit you into a Gang. If you miss you have no […]
Love At First Sight
I was in a group study this week on the Gospel of Mark. Unlike the other gospels, Mark jumps right in beginning with the public ministry of Jesus. We were all amazed how at the simple call of Jesus to “Follow Me” the disciples dropped […]
