FROM OUR MUSIC AND FAMILY MINISTER | I hope this week has been a great time for all our church family as you celebrate Thanksgiving. This is one of my favorite times of the year. It is a great time to get together with family and friends and enjoy spending time with each other. Not only am I blessed with a loving family, but I am also blessed with a great church family. I know that several of my articles in the past have dealt with my church family; however, I can never stress enough the importance of being a part of one. They are always there during the good times and during the bad times.

FROM OUR PASTOR | Child of God, rejoice! Yes, these are difficult days. Evil, wicked people seem to be progressing in their various schemes. World events are troubling. Our wonderful country seems to be imploding. But, in our wonderful Lord there is reason to rejoice. The Apostle Paul was inspired to write, ā€œRejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoiceā€ (Philippians 4:4). As believers, we can rejoice in the Lord in spite of all that is happening around us.

FROM OUR FAMILY AND MUSIC MINISTER | If you know me, you know that I still struggle with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). Luckily, as an adult, I have learned to cope with it without any form of medication now; however, as a middle school student, it was a full-blown problem. To emphasize its severity, I was the only one in my school diagnosed with it. I sat in a cubicle during class so that I wouldn’t be distracted by the people around me. As I got older, I learned to cope with it and came off medicine altogether. I had to learn to have control over my distractions.
