Considered the oldest congregation of Methodists in Guilford Co., NC, Pleasant Garden Methodist Church (GMC), looks to 1792 as their founding date. Bishop Asbury noted preaching here twice in his journals. The modern building was erected 1967, replacing one that dates to 1890
Tabernacle Church, formerly Methodist Protestant, now Global Methodist. This is their historic sanctuary, now replaced by a beautiful brick edifice. Guilford Co., NC
Walk or don’t walk. Hmmm. Maybe take the trash out first. Then walk. As long as the neighbor’s dog isn’t out.
My first pumpkin roll was a disaster. Stuck to the pan and came out in little crumbled up mess. I guess I’ll try a second one. This time I’m using parchment paper.
I voted yesterday. I took a shower today. Felt a lot better after the shower. The mud slinging is so devastating to the spirit.
I think it’s obvious from the collective mourning over Dolly Parton that we yearn deeply for examples of what it means to be good. Goodness will always defeat evil. Just hold it up and let it shine.

So called “mega churches” are going to have to expand leadership teams to take the star quality off the sr pastor. In fact they should rely on pastoral teams who rotate the preaching responsibility—only way to guarantee the church survives the publicity failures
“He woke me up this morning
And started me on my way
The Lord
Is blessing me
Right now
Oh, right now
“Because He loved me my Savior died
On the cross was crucified.
No greater love by mortal man
Has ever been known;
O praise His sweet name He loves me so!
Now I am His, He is mine I know.
He suffered it all
Because He loved me!”
