The last 3-4 days the local news in Detroit has not left the mayor alone. There are some allegations about him surrounding whether or not he lied about an affair he had with a staff member a few years back. And the Detroit media is having a field day. It’s completely disgusting that they have…

Yes, we are having church on Sunday
Unless something dramatically changes, (such as there is a state of emergency) we are having church tomorrow.

Situation in Oroville
New Story Obviously, Kristen and I were in shock to hear about the events at Las Plumas High School in Oroville today. I won’t say that I am surprised as there is always something strange happening on that campus, but I am just glad it has ended peacefully. Please pray for Shawn Hayse at the…
