Where Are We Going?

One day Jesus took a walk on the beach and saw two brothers named Simon and Andrew working as fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him. I would have asked where we were going. If you’re asked [...]

On The Road Again

Okay—cue Willie Nelson: On the road again – Just can’t wait to get on the road again. The life I love is making music with my friends And I can’t wait to get on the road again. On the road again – Goin’ places that I’ve never been. Seein’ things that I may never see [...]
