From the Pastor

As I have said on many occasions, I do not like winter.  I wish I were a bear so I could crawl into a cave and sleep through those cold and wet days that I do not enjoy.  To my surprise, I survive winter.
 
Spring has finally arrived.  I am so happy to feel the warm air, feel the sunshine on my face, and hear the birds singing even before sunrise.  Spring, for me, is the time of year when I realize how God believes in do-overs.  The newness of spring offers newness in our lives.
 
Perhaps you, like me, needs the opportunity to address issues in our lives that offer us the opportunity for another chance to get it right.
 
God loves us perfectly.  We, who are not yet perfect in our actions, have yet another chance to do it over.
 
Rev. 21:5
