"Don't be as concerned about the destination, as what God is doing in you in the journey." Last Sunday, the TRBC college pastor kicked off a new series in the college group titled, "You'll Be Glad You Did." The first message? Simply, choices matter.

Keeping my New Year’s resolution (January)
A few days ago, I sat down and wrote a new post in my browser, saved it, and when I re-opened it, it had only saved the first line.
