    The best of times! The worst of times!

    In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens penned, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us... Anyone want a "do-over" for 2020? We want the good times, the good life and not the bad times. We want the smooth and not the rough. We don’t know what to do with sorrow and grief.

    Intimacy with God

    One night after I told the Lord I wanted more of Him in my life, the Lord visited me with what I call “a baptism of His presence.” For more than two hours I was immersed in His love as He poured His liquid love over me. Afterwards, He was my desire and I couldn’t get enough of Him in my life. Psalm 27:4 speaks of this desire I had, and still have, for God as I seek to get closer and closer to Him. "One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple."

    The (2014) PCN website was dedicated to the memory of Rev. G. David Korsen, who gave of his expertise, time and passion to create the first PCN website. He served as Communications Director from March of 2009 until his graduation from this life on April 23, 2013. Dave’s caring heart and infectious laugh were the entry to the deep well of God’s grace that flowed through him — the essence of PastorCare.
