I saw something last weekend I’d never seen before. My daughter, Dori, is a soccer player. We occasionally travel for soccer tournaments and we ended up in a tournament in Lilburn.

Only From A Distance
“Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance…” Deuteronomy 32:52 Pastoring is a hard job. Of course, it’s not the only hard job in the world.
