Seeing Jesus in Everything

Seeing Jesus in Everything

She had written in her older Bible, the blue one, by Jeremiah 3:11-15 "10/5/08, Bro Nick Holden, Wonderful Sermon" and today, January 10, 2020, I, as your pastor, can return the blessing and say to her, "The life you lived and led was a WONDERFUL SERMON that showed us Jesus."
