You are Invited

Mentoring the Next Generation
Summer is in the air, school is out, and young adults are graduating. Fifty years ago, it was me! WOW, how can this be? The saying is true: time flies when you are having fun. Recently, I met a young man who is hungry for God. He has lots of questions, wants to...
