Christmas 2015

Looking forward to that glorious day! For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away…For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. (1Cor 13:9-12) Then we who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds Read More …

Linville River Log Cabins
