What Do You Want from Me, Lord?
By Mike Page, Guest Preacher There’s nothing like having to prepare a sermon to get procrastination work done in the garden. Yesterday I managed to turn the compost heap and shredded a pile of branches from the winter. So thank you. And thank you for the opportunity to share this message with you.
