Finishing 2020
Today is the last day of 2020. Since 2020 was such a spectacular year (cue the sarcasm), most of us can't wait for tomorrow. But I don't think things are suddenly going to be different in our world tomorrow. The only thing that will change at midnight is the date. Unless we decide to change… Continue reading Finishing 2020
Fruit of the Spirit

I've written a few letters in my life since I was almost 20 when email… Continue reading Waiting for Justice
How are you building?
What are you building? Is it what you want or what God wants? If you have no idea what I am talking about, click here to hear Pastor Quincy McGhee's sermon from Sunday on James 4:7-12. You do not want to miss it! Photo by John-Mark Smith on Pexels.com But back to the question: What… Continue reading How are you building?
