More than once, people knocked on our door because they could hear Marti’s laughter in the next room when […]
A Message from David George
Silence is golden—except when it’s not. There is a problem with silence. Scripture tells us that if we don’t proclaim Christ, the rocks will cry out for Him.

She had to downsize a little bit, but, in all of the cleaning out, Wilson was certain one thing wasn’t getting left behind—a small Lottie Moon doll that’s been on her mantle for years. She has other things she […]
