The Road Less Traveled
Some food for thought on a Friday morning. On Tuesday, I had the privilege of sitting down with a group of high school students for an early morning Bible study. This is a study that our Student Ministries Director, Blake Britt, started a couple of months ago. Students meet up at the Aledo Diner at 7:15 a.m. each Tuesday morning, enjoy a good breakfast...
