This past Sunday, local churches around the country were blessed with full congregations! So many people came to church, even those who don’t normally go except on Christmas or Easter.

Are Ghosts Real?
The other day, I was driving past some creatively decorated homes, with spooky life-sized halloween “characters” on their front porch.
