A Vision at the Foot of the Cross

The following is entitled “A Vision from the Foot of the Cross.”  It is my personal devotional meditation on the one hand, and on the other hand, it serves as a very short explanation of a few foundational aspects in a Biblical understanding for Forest Home joining together with St. Philip Catholic Church in town for our upcoming June event.  This is as significant in the Kingdom of God as the conference itself.  To be sure, there is more that…

Marriage Integrity

Forest Home had a unique visitor this past Thursday for 5:30 p.m. prayer.  She is Kate Marchiniak, a dual citizen of New Zealand and Canada who has lived in Williamson County for over 10 years.  Several years ago a newspaper reporter noticed that Kate was showing up at the Franklin Square every Friday at 12:30 or so, and asked what she was doing.  The resulting story reported how Kate was keeping a commitment to pray for Franklin every Friday from…
