I want to make sure that I say this before going into the need in this country: Adoption …
3rd week of “A Pastor’s Wish List.” On this third installment, today’s big idea was all about “Accept Divine Interruptions.” The Christmas story is all about God interrupting the lives of normal people and doing extraordinary things.

Today was a celebratory day for me. School is forever complete! Here are the top 10 quotes from today’s festivities in no particular order: “Graduates of the Southern Seminary class of December 2009, if you aim to finish what you start in ministry, you will aim too low or finish what is not Christ’s.” -Dr. Al Mohler “The Christian ministry …
I wanted to present an “Offering” edition of North Side Storytellers for the song, “What, Then, is Christmas?” Take it away, bud: Guest Blogger: Woody Nivens Christmas was a very special time for me as a kid.
