Leadership Series
Leadership Series
By Mrs. May Ohaedoghasi
For many of us, we want to be God’s people, but to serve in our own terms.

I was "Isadored" by Two Catholics and a Hebrew; It was Great*
By Larry Peterson
I never knew a Catholic/Christian named Isidore. I had always thought that the name, Isidore, was primarily a Hebrew/Jewish name. In fact, several years ago, when my cousin, Vicki, discovered who our mysterious, missing grandfather was, his name turned out to be Isidore. It proved my point; Isidore Schul was a Hebrew man from Krakow.

I on the other hand have not dealt with the same regret.
