Church Notes – April, 2011
Something to ponder.... In every culture and time, persons of faith, of all ages, have summoned trials and tribulations to find the endurance and strength to “dance”. They have danced with the weight of the world upon their shoulders, sustained by God and others dancing near them.
-Ray Buckley, author of Hard to Dance with the Devil on Your Back,2010, Abingdon Press.
