Good Wonderful Wednesday, Our quote of the week today is a very important one: “I believe forgiveness is the best form of love in any relationship. It takes a strong person to say they’re sorry and an even stronger person to forgive.” – Yolanda Hadid I must admit that I have had a hard time to be forgiving…
Good Monday Morning!Hope you all had a good weekend. The Service of Remembrance was meaningful and reflective of the love we have for those we recalled. Let’s start the week with a joke: Today, I’ll make this short. There is a comparison that can be made with this story. In all of our days of work,…

During one sermon, the boy was misbehaving, so his mom picked him up and was carrying him out to discipline him. Knowing what was coming,…
Good morning, everyone, We finally made it to Friday. I hope everyone has had a blessed week. Normally, on Friday’s, I usually talk about crazy things. Today, it will be a little different because I think we need a little laughter: One day, a police officer pulls a car over and sees the back seat…
Happy Thursday, everyone! Today being Thursday, it’s time to have a thought to ponder: “Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars, and he’ll believe you.
