His name was Joshua Storrs. But I knew him as Bro. Storrs. He was a humble man, a serious man, a man able to laugh and joke, and a man after Gods own heart. I remember him best as the heart of the TBC Male Chorus, under Dea. Osborne Bailey and Sis. Carolyn Taylor. I will miss him. James E. Hume

You and your family are in my prayers. Lean on the Lord and he will see you through this valley as he has seen you through others. You already know he can. If there is anything I can do for you, I am a phone call away.

Look around and you shall see
the beauty God has made for you and me
the fresh smell of rain, the flowers that grow
the sparkle of diamonds, in the new fallen snow

The laughter of children, brings joy to our eyes
a visit from friends, what a wonderful surprise
to hear "I Love You" from someone you love
to know that you are loved by God above

To see a couple walking along holding hands
just a look between them and, they understand
our prayers are answered when we see the light
God seems to know when the time is just right

All of this beauty that we see every day
is even more beautiful when you can say

What A Friend We Have In Jesus


What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilage to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer:
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus Knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer:
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.
