The Quintessence Of A Small Town
What are the ingredients needed to make a small town? No, it's not just the number of people who choose to call it home, nor is it the number of paved streets or traffic signals or the size or number of stories of the town's city hall. I believe that small towns are defined by the attitudes of those who call them home and live their modest and unpretentious lives far away from the many who only dream of giving up their hectic and complicated existences.

Will the Lord God carry out judgments against His churches?
"Jerusalem has sinned gravely, therefore she has become vile. All who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness; yes, she sighs and turns away. Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she did not consider her destiny; therefore her collapse was awesome; she had no comforter. 'O Lord, behold my affliction, for the enemy is exalted!'" Lamentations 1:8-9 (Read Lamentations 1)
