The weather is getting warmer and spring is in the air. While folks up north are still battling the cold weather and winter precipitation, we are so blessed to live here in paradise! All glory to God!
Speaking of being thankful to God, how about the Daytona 500 the other day?! Trevor Bayne, who is twenty years old, competing in his second major race WON the Daytona 500! In the winners circle he gave all the glory to God and thanked his Lord and Savior for this miracle in his life! In addition he pledged to donate a large portion of his team's 1.46 million dollar winnings to various worldwide Cristian charities. All Glory to God! We should all pay close attention to the example young Mr. Bayne is setting!
So, what's happening this week at Trinity? Lots of great stuff!
