"Life is..."
In today's world we don't always slow down enough to focus on the meaning in our lives or the importance of relationships with people around us. One truth we know is "Life is..." It is a struggle, it is amazing, it is confusing and frustrating, it is... At Kimtah we will explore the many aspects related to what "Life is" and see how God's comfort and love can help us maneuver through even the toughest moments.
