Singing The Star-Spangled Banner in the UK

The 4th of July, a.k.a. Independence Day, is just two days away and very difficult to celebrate in the United Kingdom. Just think about that for a second and you’ll understand why. We have missed this bit of Americana for the past four years, but we do love what God has called us to do […]

Duloc is a perfect place!

Shrek is one of my favorite animated films (not the sequels, but the original). Two unlikely characters get thrown together for the adventure of a lifetime and both of them find love in the end.
