Most Recent Reflection
View all 37 ReflectionsI remember both of these gentlemen fondly. I used to work the drive through at Provident Bank. They would come through together at times laughing and just cutting up. It’s been years since I have recalled them both. My prayers are for all the first responders and families. My knowledge of the Lord is that he is always there with kindness and open arms. We all have challenges along the way. I am so grateful Heavenly Father chose Jesus Christ to help us find our way home. That has never and will never change.
