A Pretty Big Life Change Pending
After sharing this news with my parents yesterday morning, I can now share it with my loyal readers and friends: I am finishing up my pastorate at Red Oak church the end of this month, and I have accepted a position managing a local Chick-fil-A, two minutes from my home. For some of you who’ve…
