Greetings Saints of God and Happy New Year!

The end of this year, 2015, marks the beginning of the 4th year of the Dollar Store Children Sermon blog.  That means the DSCS has been running now for 3 full years.  Amazing.  And it is all because of you, and your continued use of the blog.

Thank you!  Thank you! Thank you!

I appreciate your prayers, visits, use and donations throughout the last four years.

If you have ever considered making a donation, today would be a great day to do it!  Never a necessity, always appreciated.

Thank you for your continued prayers, and conversation here, and on Facebook.
