The text for this week's sermon was Mark 4:35-41, where Jesus calmed the storm. Pastor, during his sermon spoke of not only those storms that scare us and cause damage, but also those times when life is too benign.

I just finished reading a book. I won't mention the title, because it got great reviews, and I hated it.....so I must be somehow lacking in my literary "panache."
