Major's Minute
This newsletter, I want to share a simple shout out to Major Celestine!
On June 14th, we celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary! He's a man of God, a great father, chef, hardworker, driver, cleaner, teller of ... good ... jokes, BBQer, cares about the Word of God, and cares for his family and others. What a great example!
On this Father's day, I thank God, for men like Him who want to lead their families on the path of righteousness. I also thank God for the men of the church who are stepping up to be steadfast examples. Being dedicated to God and the church, encouraging and loving others to do the same.
As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15)
