Opened with Expectation and Closed in Profit
That is a good book which is opened with expectation and closed in profit. ~ Amos Bronson Alcott ~ To really get your leaders on board with the vision that God has given you you are going to have to shape not only their thoughts but how they form them. Through the years countless books [...]
Down from the Mountain
Having just come back from an amazing weekend with our youth group it is an easy thing to get down. After all we experienced coming back down to reality is a little depressing.
