RG AUDIO 011121   Mark 4:1-9 I love storytelling. A good story can evoke passion, tears, hope, joy, or expectation, possibly all at the same time. I get so excited to see the waiting in other’s eyes as they hang on every word. For me, the stories I love best are the ones that are […]

RG AUDIO 010921   Mark 2:13-20 The ones who knew better spoke first. They watched over the sight before them and were certain that this man could not be the Messiah. What king would do such a thing? I hated jr. high. I was a short girl with glasses, braces, and in the marching band! […]
