RIGHT NOW in the Horn of Africa people are dying every day from the worst famine in 60 years. Food and water are desperately needed. Good Shepherd has felt the call to be Jesus’ hands and feet in meeting that need. THIS Saturday, August 20, from 10:00 a.m. -2:00 p.m....
In this age of websites and ezines, I'm going to give a shout out to the old fashioned magazine. I've grown up on them. I still love reading them. There's something intoxicating about holding a glossy in my hands and reading up on the latest cultural trends, political...
I came across this piece recently and so shared it the people of Good Shepherd during yesterday's launch of Boundaries With Kids: The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a crystal meth lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and...
