Life Goes On
This past weekend I attended a funeral and a wedding on the same day. Three separate families were greatly impacted by life and its circumstances. I was reminded of the phrase, “life goes on.” I was also reminded of Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8. “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a…

We would have never fathomed that church and school would be all on-line.…
