Were you ever picked last in school? You know the deal, you’re in gym class and the two team captains are picking their teams for a game of dodgeball.

Pastor Andy posted this on the Facebook Fanpage today: We received word today that three homeless people have died in Atlanta this summer due to heat exhaustion. I guess I should say first that we need your help to try and stop these kinds of tragedies from happening. Next, I want to give you the […]
[This is a guest post from Jon Braswell. He relayed this story to me and I thought you should all hear his testimony about Grandpa.
