We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.” -2 Cor.4:8-9 I had a breakdown over scotcharoos […]

The clock just turned 9:38pm when the phone rang.  The voice on the other end of the line asked, “Were you serious?” A week before, we had asked to be notified when a resident is taken to the hospital via ambulance, no matter the time of the day or night.  So, without hesitation Stephen said, […]
