2:55 – So Many Messages, So Little Time #faithbites #faithjourney messages Today was a pretty momentous day at Trinity Lutheran today.

303 – Are you a Citizen of God? #faithbites #faithjourney Citizen Today’s #faithbite is inspired by the President of the United States saying that he could end birthright citizenship by executive order. This post isn’t about that as I try to stay away from politics as much as possible. Instead, this will focus on what it means to be a citizen. […]
