Serving God with His people at Faith OPC has been a great joy and blessing. When I grow up, I want to umpire Little League Baseball. I will revel on that day when I can say to a 10-year-old boy after four pitched balls, "Take a walk in the sunshine." My wife of 30+ years, Peggy, consistently demonstrates the love of Christ and remains my very best friend. Our six children, our four lovely, sweetie-pie daughters-in-law, and our four grandchildren serve as resident theologians.

Sha-a-rim

This is located off the border-edge of the Valley of Elah, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 17:52, in the region where David conquered Goliath. Specifically, it's the location on the way of the rout carried out by the Israelites, when they chased the Philistines out of the area, back to Philistia. It's cited as the way of the Sha-a-rim.

1 Samuel 17:52 “....by the way to Sha-a-rim, even unto to Gath...”

Jeremy, my 16-year-old son and I, the Lord willing, will see places just like this one in the coming weeks. We're grateful for what's ahead. Stay tuned for more details.
