  • A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed

    May 3, 2022 I have had several acquaintances in my 57-year journey on this earth. Some have been close, and some have been those who needed me to do something.  Whatever the case, I have had the privilege of knowing many people.  When I was young, I was not so lucky.  I was a funny…

    Spiritual Disciplines: Worship Through Music (Musica Divina)

    While music is important in our lives and provide a means of expression, relaxation, grieving, celebration and fun in our modern world, it is advantageous to know that it was equally important in the ancient days of Israel.
