There is no greater sorrow, than a non-blogger who hears that it is his week to write the HTC blog post. Such was my fate this morning.

Every month I go to an assisted living community with Pastor Kim to do the chapel service for their residents. I pretend I know how to play hymns and then he shares a profound message to our guests seasoned in the faith. On a recent visit he shared on David and when he went to get the Ark of the… Continue reading GateKeeper
2017 is already two weeks old and the idea of everything being fresh and new is getting off to about as good of start as my car on a -20 degree morning. I shouldn’t be surprised though, it is not as if the New Year started with a bang. Our family was watching the clock countdown and the program switched… Continue reading January 15, 2017
Hi friends, Rachel Dillaman here, worship leader at Harvestime Church, Eau Claire. Since I’m on staff, I have the opportunity to share some of my thoughts with you via this blog.
