Good morning, Lord. Thank you for the gift of rest to set aside time to worship you, to be restored in body, mind and spirit. We began our day a little later and slower which combined with last night’s early arrival gave us some rest and recovery time before we resume...

Travel Day to Del Rio The Joy of the Lord! We start the day, as we always do on these trips with POWER, attending “Alianza” a church established by the Christian and Missionary Alliance years ago. We wear the “POWER Tuxedo”, as I like to think of it, a polo shirt. We...
