(This is being cross-posted from my publishing website, http://www.spiritwaterpublications.com/. It goes out with a big thank you to all those who have encouraged me as I’ve dreamed.) He said he would never put me in front of a congregation, I was not a speaker. It didn’t matter he had never bothered to let me try …
I have an uncanny knack for visiting churches when there is food involved. I never plan it that way but it often happens. I believe the first time I visited Freedom Friends, it was potluck Sunday.
