This morning at our See You At The Pole rally at Person High School, a girl read this well known verse:"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Cor. 5:17God really illuminated a couple of things from that verse that seemed... Continue Reading →
