During our intermission at church this morning (you can tell that we’re a community chock-full of coffee addicts - we actually have an intermission in our service to GET MORE COFFEE), my pastor tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to read the Scripture verse of the day, and to encapsulate with words reminding [...]
