Ground broken for new JOY ministries HQ

Comments to attendees by Maggie Coleman

JOY Ministries started rather haphazardly over a decade ago, with Christians just doing what God calls them to do, to serve the least and the lost.

Almost from the beginning, the need for a homebase became evident.

Ten years later, with two shelters already standing, and having been located in four different buildings, we are breaking ground on the headquarters for our ministry.

Everyone of you here today, from employees, volunteers, government officials, donors, law enforcement, church supporters, counselors, and board members, have had a hand in this event.

Letter: Thank you for sharing

Comments re: Mystery - is it a rock or fossilized dinosaur egg?

By Marie Freeman

Even though we can do artificial intelligence searches on photos now, if we don't share, even with technology, we wouldn't know. I thank you for sharing this photo. When we learn things new it's very enriching, worth more than money. After researching the dragon stone there is a lot of history and spiritual realm for this fossil formation. It is believed to be a healing rock. Perhaps you need to keep this as a pet rock :-)
