Last month, Gary Spangler gave a devotion to the Ability Ministry team and we talked about going deeper in our walk with the Lord. I have been praying and asking the Lord to help me “go deeper”. In response to that prayer, I’ve been focused on prayer and its impact on my life and those […]
Recently, our Riverwood residents got to visit Dollywood and everyone had an absolute blast! If you know anything about our residents, it is that they love Dollywood.

During those several months, we […]

Not just spiritual things from my friends, but also state regulations, Social Security laws, regulations from the Department of Human Services, and Housing Urban Development. (just to name a few).

Because Jesus' table is accessible for everyone...
