Faith. Yes, it’s a belief and, yes, it’s a hope. But it’s so much more! Faith has a sort of substance to it. It doesn’t stay silent and it can’t remain hidden. Faith can’t help but expose the heart from which it flows, leaving behind evidence … of things unseen…

The Big Day Comes To A Close

More Pictures
Visitors are welcome this evening. We should all be cleaned up by then…
