All Hands on Deck!
When I was a teenager, I’d thought seriously about joining the United States Marine Corp or the United States Navy. I was chosen as the Boy’s State Representative from my school and the Marine Sergeant was impressive, powerful, and full of recruiting vim.

I Love to Travel!
From the time I was a little kid, when our family would journey to Maine and Florida to visit relatives, I would get all excited over the thought of packing my bags, finding my seat in the family automobile, and cruising down the road for different venues where I could investigate new and untouched-by-me locations….

Pastor’s Pointe of View – The Bible
Take a second or two and do something for me. Think back on your schooling and reflect on which subject was your favorite. Was it mathematics, science, music, English literature, or even history?
