Shout out to all students
On Friday morning, I was driving over by Dairy Queen when I saw a group of kids running. I do not know if they are on the track or cross-country team, either way they were out there together running. Kudos to those kids, if any one of them are reading this good for you all for taking your time when school is out to keep on your training.
Resurrection Medicine
“The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.” John 20:20 How afraid of death we can be! We avoid going to the doctor because we’re afraid he might find something wrong with us. We don’t like to talk about diseases such as cancer or heart trouble because so often they might be fatal.
