Kids are panicked.” And again at 1:13 p.m. “Luda’s sister and family are singing praises to God right now in their root cellar while bombs fall…
Dear Trinity Baptist Church Family, I have a bit of a reputation for marking the seasons, especially on my fb. So here is good news, the darkest 2 months are once again behind us and the coldest weeks of the year are drawing to an end. Today we have a picture of warmer days in weeks to…
