My favorite thing about my pastor is that he teaches from the Bible. Each Sunday, he reads a chapter and shares his message from the Word of God. I’m very visual and I love that he paints a picture in my mind of what is taking place and what God is saying through His word. I also love that he has taught me the JOY of knowing Jesus. I can picture Jesus laughing and enjoying time with me. Also, over the years, when I have been hurting or in the midst of a storm, Paul has listened, prayed and encouraged me. He has continually been a spiritual mentor in my life. As an added bonus, he is not only my Pastor, he is my Uncle. I love him.

Last year was probably one of the toughest years I’ve been through in quite a while. In a four month time span, our beloved family dog passed away from cancer, my long-time job was eliminated and I was sent to a different division at the company, then my mother passed away suddenly, and I resigned at work. Life felt like it was spinning out of control and I could do nothing to stop it. However, through the grace of God, a lot of tears and questioning, plus a TON of prayer, I made it through the darkest moments. I am beyond grateful for WBGL and the consistent connection to prayer, worship music, and encouragement to find peace during the pain and confusion of life.
