  • Baseball is a big part of my ministry, and I serve as the head coach at Asbury University. The Asbury team began this season with a 0-17 record. That’s right. We lost our first 17 games – and most of them weren’t close. Have you ever been through a “losing streak” in your life? I have – and I think many of you who may never have even played baseball can relate to what a 17-game losing streak feels like.

  • The Grant County Relay For Life Committee is asking all Grant County churches to recognize and honor their cancer survivors in some way on Sunday, May 20 for Super Survivor Sunday.

    “So many of the people involved with the relay are active in our churches so we thought this was the best way to reach out and ask that they be recognized,” said Alice Ingram, the Grant County RFL team recruitment coordinator.

    • There are many, many responsibilities that go with the title of Motherhood. A mother passes on her faith in  many ways - work ethic, money, behavior and spirituality. If you want to keep your children’s feet on the ground, you need to put some responsibility on their shoulders. Pretty is what you are, beauty is what you do with it.

  • Boomer is gentle and loving, an over grown lap dog who just wants to play.

    When approached, his skinny tail whips fast and furious.

    Boomer and others dogs like him are looking for a forever home, but when visitors come to the Grant County Animal Shelter, they often stop to look at him, but they keep on going.

    Unfortunately for Boomer, a Pit Bull, his breed has a bad reputation, which is why Marsha Chaney, the shelter director, has started the “Pit Stop Campaign.”

  • Wil Wineman was my chaplain aboard the USS Boxer and he was also my spiritual mentor as well and played a pivotal role in my spiritual life. Wil had a deep love for Christ like I had never seen and he took his faith seriously. Jesus Christ was more than a name or a concept to Wil, Jesus Christ was a close intimate friend. So when someone insulted Christ, they were insulting Wil’s best friend and Lt. Wil Wineman wouldn’t stand for it.
