We made our connections from O’Hare to Detroit to Amsterdam to Aberdeen and then Jon Bergen picked us up and brought us to Brechin. Tonight we attended the mid-week Bible study of Brechin Baptist Fellowship. Jon did a study introducing the book of Ephesians. We had not seen our youngest niece since before she was 3. She is 10.

Dear Trinity Baptist Church Family, Psalm 14:1 “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.” The fool says “no” to God.
