Church Anthology

I’ve had a desire to publish an anthology of poetry, testimonies, and short stories at my church for some time. I have been the delay in getting this done for a variety of reasons. Now, it’s time.

I encountered a woman from my church in Safeway on Sunday after church, and she told me she was waiting on me so she could use her gift. So, now here is the plan!

Anthology
