The Sonbright Connection

Unlike most people, I suppose, I enjoy taking connecting flights when I travel by plane. One reason for this is that I get to see a different place--even if for only a couple hours, and yes, even if it's only the inside of an airport. The other reason is that there is the possibility that the connecting flight will be over booked and I will be able to stay a little longer.

On this journey of life, I have had the opportunity to lay over at various places on my way to the final destination. I've learned that if I'm going to truly enjoy the trip, the destination must always be foremost in my mind, though.

One lay over I've made on this journey recently has been what I like to call my Sonbright Connection.

A little over eight years ago I had the privilege of laying over in Sunbright on my way home. While some of the time in this lay over has been uncomfortable, I've learned a lot and have grown in the Lord.

Some people balk and complain when an unexpected lay over occurs--I have done the same thing at times--but now, as I'm ready to move on to the next leg of this trip, I can truly say it has been awesome!

I've made some new friends, had some new experiences, and, hopefully I have made a positive impact on people, too. Yes, this is one of those stops--like so many before--that I'm going to miss when I leave, but I know everything is going to be okay.

Well, it's time to move on now. I have another lay over soon. I don't know how long this one will be, but I am very excited about the adventure--this great adventure of life.

Crossville....HERE I COME!!

New Playground at SCC

At last a prayer has been answered. The Children’s Ministry at Sonbright Christian Center has long desired a playground for our children. It has been talked about for almost a full year, but now it is a reality. Last month we received donations for this project and purchased playground equipment. I have attached a couple of pictures of the dedication.

We give God praise for the wonderful things He is doing at Sonbright Christian Center.
