I apologize to all of you who are religiously checking this site (all 2 of you)–I haven’t been very good with the updates recently.  Since I got off early today (after only 14 1/2 hours!) I can talk a little.  In true military style, your update is going to be in bullet format: – The […]

I was shocked by the news.  Our church of the past year, New Life Church, was the location of yet another shooting by some crazed lunatic with a gun.  Here’s how TIME put it. Even before two of its teenage congregants were shot near their car on Sunday, New Life Church in Colorado Springs had […]
