Let's face it, for those in fill time vocational ministry and those who serve as volunteers within the local church, it would be nice not to have to recreate everything we do. If we can find other servants of the Lord who have done something or gone through something before, we would be wise to glean from their exeperiences. This Website hopefully will be an invaluable resource for all of us as we continue to serve the Lord with all of our might and strength. I am praying for all those who use this tool and find it beneficial to your ministry. I would love to hear back from you with any comments, suggestions and/or feedback.

Mothers Day Poem

Mothers Are a Special Class

There are poems and then there are people
The things on paper can't quite capture the nature
Of the women who stand in the places
For their children throughout the ages

Mother's are from a special class
One that they can claim all their own
Of those who sacrifice their lives
For the children they have been given
