I’ve Never Met a Perfect Family

by | Jan 26, 2018 | Family Faith

I’ve never met a perfect family. My family is at the head of the line for imperfection. Don’t get me wrong. We’ve tried to be the perfect family. We’ve tried to present ourselves as having it all together. After all, I am a pastor. And now I am the “Pastor of Family...

by | Jan 10, 2018 | Devos
