Happy 2019 everybody! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years with family and friends. Personally, I had a pretty good time. I like giving gifts that people don’t expect and then seeing their reactions. It’s a lot of fun. Anyone have any delicious Christmas treats this year? I have my hand raised. At my house, Christmas day was quite relaxing. We had a meal and played some games. It wasn’t Read more…

First, though, I want to present you with my monthly ministry update! Ministry Update: Merry Christmas! It Read more…
Hey everybody! I hope you’re all doing well! It’s now less than 2 weeks until Christmas! The time just continues to fly by, but maybe that’s because I’m really enjoying my time here at Word of Life.

Hey everybody! It’s a beautiful day here in Woodford, snow and all! I’ve come to decide that I actually quite like the snow. It’s definitely much better than a cold, cold rain and mud everywhere. Actually, it’s quite the winter wonderland here right now. You know that moment when you wish you had done something, but now it’s too late. I just experienced that right now. I totally should have taken a picture of the Read more…
