So why not take a seat on the Bus of “Stories of Hope” and let’s ride together into our future possibilities, by letting Hope grow in our Hearts and Minds.

A mark of maturity is being more disciplined and governed by what you believe than by what you feel. We need emotions, but we can’t be emotionally driven. Feelings are real, but they’re also temporary—and they can compromise good decisions. People who haven’t developed their faith often let their feelings shape their beliefs. But those who operate …

The government is not the head of the Church. The culture does not dictate doctrine and morality for the Church. We are the body and Christ is the head of that body.
