Let God Be Our Glue!    (My new motto for youth group)

Well, today is Joe’s last day as Director of Youth Ministry.  So, I shall devote some space to him, and to his sweet wife, Kelly.               OK, so that last one is Jack and Chip, but it’s all one montage, so I couldn’t not put it on here.  Hey, he’s my […]
