  • Sorry to State the Obvious, But….

    Has anyone noticed that our terribly underfunded education system has been in crisis for years? How ’bout a stinkin’ 700 billion dollar bailout?

    Don’t you just love those spoonfuls of Spaghettios where you get not one but two meatballs?!? Continue reading

  • Living as Witnesses

    At CrossWay yesterday we continued with the Real Life series.  This third week was “Living as Witnesses.”  We read 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12, 17-20; 4:11-12 and talked about what it means to live as witnesses for Jesus Christ. To be a witness simply means to truthfully share with others what we have seen and heard. This… Continue reading
