  This I Believe

  

  By emyklee, Reston, VA

  I believe that it is crucially important to be rooted into a local church, not just any church, but the right church. I also believe that when a Christian finds a church home, that’s where God needs them to be. Going to any “good” church is not the same because the people at your church home, ...

  Tick-tock Like the drip-drop Of the leaky faucet that'll never stop Pitter-patter Laughter and splatter From the children mixing cake batter Ring-a-ling Like school bells that sing "Wake up man, Class is over."...

  Enough

  

  By emyklee, Reston, VA
