Denise and Ron with Hunter on his first Christmas
The picture you see to the left is one of my favorite images, The Laughing Christ.
Jesus was fully human as he is fully divine. One who, when he walked among us, experienced
the full spectrum of human life and emotion. This picture shows him having a good
belly-
The author and perfecter of our faith enjoys us as much as he loves us. He truly desires a relationship with us, and welcomes us into that relationship regardless of our past.
The joy of my life is that I get to share that message of unconditional love, and help others realize the hope to which God has called them.
A relationship with God in Christ is one that is healing, affirming, inspiring, and
life-
The JOY of the Lord is our strength.
Pastor Ron
