Anytime I encounter people from Mercy Street I am inspired and challenged.  It was no different at this year’s  Mercy Street’s Fundraiser Luncheon.

The theme for this luncheon was Come to the Table.  Many times relationships are built […]

Last month Ever-Lovin’ and I missed going to Mercy Street.  Yes, we didn’t get to go, and we missed being with the teenagers that come to Mercy Street on Sunday nights for Bible Study.
