2020 in Black and White
What we least expect to happen is exactly what we need to expect.
COVID and the Bible.
God has a plan for everything. God does not will sickness or disease or suffering or sin for anyone. But He does will that good may come from even the most difficult of situations.

A Very Different Easter.
“The greatest gift we find at Easter is not the chocolate rabbit or the colored eggs–It is HOPE.” -Nick Palisch (2020) When you awoke this morning, you found ourselves blessed with another day.
