By: Jodi Aiken Have you ever felt lonely? I imagine everyone has felt this way at some point in their lives. To be honest, I struggle with loneliness more than I care to admit. Sometimes the feeling is short lived, and other times it is a lengthy battle. I know I am losing when I hear the…
By: Anita Cook Life is hard. Ministry is messy. Jesus never shied away from the messy and ran head on into the difficult.
