Jeff handed me an article in June from the Wall Street Journal that encouraged me to persevere in the faith. I don...
Keep Readingby Reid Wilson Greetings Westminster Family, When school was cancelled for the year I moved out of my apartment in Greenwood and back into my family home in north Alabama. Some of you know that I'd been accepted for two internships in Washington, D.C. for the summer, in both the House and the Senate. When the internships were cancelled due to the pandemic, I reached ou...
Keep Readingby Sarah Waldrop One of the best gifts I received as a new mom was a devotional book from my Mom, with short daily devotionals that she had gone through and made notes after.

Keep Readingby Kim Pillow This past Father's Day, of all days, I lost my father. I felt cheated; selfishly thinking to myself that I was robbed of any emotion other than mourning on any subsequent Father's Day. I am a Daddy's girl, and to this day I can remember the road trip that solidified this. My dad's dad had died. My mom was unable to attend the funeral in Warren, Arkans...
