I could hear the angst in her voice. “Mom, we have a dilemma. We are not sure what to do.” I listened to her talk with all the angles around a serious decision she and her husband needed to make. I asked the question I always ask, “What does your husband think?” He, being a […]
This week you’re in for a treat. This is another guest blog post written by my husband, Mike Williams. Mike has been the children’s pastor at Shepherd Church for over 13 years.
