The three of us entered the Danbarry Theaters in West Cincinnati at around 10:45 this morning to attend CHURCH. Upon entering the lobby I immediately started to “recognize” faces of people I’d never met. Faces that I’d seen on Pastor Ryan’s blog. A blog I read with great regularity – not because I know him, … Read More
