Alice in Wonder Land

I am over covid for the second time. So thankful for the many friends that prayed for me and were concerned. I went to church Sunday, August 21st, via Facebook to The Fathers House. It brought me such joy to think I was sitting with Larry behind Sister Cynthia who was putting it on Facebook.

By Dr. Don Newbury A Turkey Day Memory... 'Doting' is an adjective often used to describe grandparents. In the case of Rick and Becky Cadden, however, 'pranking' might be a better fit.
