The Good Stuff for the week of August 1, 2010

It's early Sunday morning in downtown Powhatan. I've awoken to discover that a bit of rain has fallen during the night, and the forecast calls for a good chance of more throughout the day.

Rain. Such a blessing. Very good stuff.

Be blessed, friends...

Be kind...

God loves you.

Pastor Kevin
