Mead Minutes: Farewell thoughts

by Tim Mead on Wednesday, June 20, 2018 at 7:59 am

I truly have an amazing family. Just imagine your spouse coming home one day and saying, “I think we need to go to Africa as a family to work.” To many, this would be considered bizarre behavior in need of counseling.

Sometimes amidst the glitter and noise, the reason we celebrate is lost. Christmas should be a season of “awe and wonder.”  When Christ was born, there were no Christmas sales going on.
