TEXAS PANHANDLE – Disasters come in all forms and sizes; and, on occasion, affect more than the humans who have been impacted.

Spring is new life
EDITOR'S NOTE: Julie Ball serves as vice president for The LIGHT House, an affiliate of MBCH Children and Family Ministries. I’ve been in my position for 12 years. Twelve years is a long time.

‘Sons of Thunder’ ride, disciple, love
JEFFERSON CITY – Jason Snellen just wanted a way to connect with his three sons. As the boys grew up, he turned to one of his loves, motorcycles. Before many kids learn to ride bicycles, the boys followed his example and were spending time with their father riding motorcycles. “I always called them my little ‘sons of thunder,’” Snellen said, a reference to the nickname Jesus gave to two of His disciples, James and John, sons of Zebedee. “As they grew, I thought that would be a cool way to … [Read more...]
