Weekly Recap: March 25-29

Greetings From Beverly Hills, FL

This has been an interesting week.  We’ve struggled a bit to post every day in a timely fashion.  However, with a little help we made it.  Thanks for your patience.  And support.

There is One Hope

In the Peanuts comic strip, we find Snoopy thinking to himself: “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I’m a dog. Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog.”

Sadly, some folks have resigned themselves to feel like Snoopy. They feel hopeless. Continue reading →
