Pastor Michael

Have you ever had a little thing ruin your day? A big thing ruin your week, month, year? Life isn’t always fair. People aren’t always kind. Situations don’t always go your way. Sometimes you will be mistreated, looked over, judged unfairly, forgotten, or left out. You can’t control what happens to you, you can only control how you respond. How are you managing your attitude?
