Rev. Brenda Brooks-Alexander

This is what I love most about our mission trip to Florida with Give Kids the World.

Have you ever gone to a restaurant known for its bread?

I believe we can pray in any position.

When my grandchildren spend the night, Sunday mornings can be quite an adventure.

I try not to let the dark catch me.

I will be honest — my gardening skills are questionable.

I am looking forward to the end of the month when KJ and Kennedy learn to swim.

My great-niece Kennedy is one of God’s wonderful works.

Trading is nothing new. People trade baseball cards, cars, recipes, collectibles, and family treasures. We trade our time for money, our skills for opportunity, and sometimes one possession for another. Trading and bartering have always been part of life.

One of the things we often say about loved ones who have joined the great cloud of witnesses is, “Gone, but never forgotten.”
