The Message
From Kim Justeses
Sandy, UT
After many pleasant yours of ministering in a small North Carolina church, my grandfather, the Reverend Francis G. Bryans, passed away in May, 1985.
In the summer of 1996, I experienced a great deal of turmoil in my life. It became necessary for me to leave my job and take care of my health. I was depressed and anxious, and I felt very lost.

Myra Riley’s Last Mothers Day
by Polly Mazariegos
I was trying to think of a favorite Mother’s Day memory, and all the memories I had with my mother, Myra C. Riley, were favorites.
