Pizza Ranch Serves

By Guest Speaker Rory. Thank you for sharing this powerful message today.

As we all know, the presidential election is right around the corner. 'Tis the season to watch the debates, listen to the rally speeches, and cast your vote. However, there's a darker side to the election season: the hatred it can bring out in people. It seems like everything in America lately is a fight. You are either this or that. You either believe in this right or you don't. You either think the government should do this or that.

Pizza Ranch is a proud partner of Wildwood Hills Ranch. Perry Krosschell, Pizza Ranch’s Chief Vision Officer was able to attend with other members of the Support Center Staff. He stated in a recent Facebook post, “Wildwood Hills Ranch exists to transform lives and strengthen communities by providing healing, hope and God’s unconditional love to at-risk youth and veterans. They use equestrian therapy and leadership programs for up to 10 years…not just for a week. This is all done with 100% full scholarships.”

“If you aren’t getting better, you’re getting worse.” Have you ever heard this saying?

The Holy Spirit does the work. We are just instruments. The Holy Spirit makes a community or relationship truly grow. We can still be the reason that a community or relationship doesn’t grow though! -Toxic relationships -Constant arguing/debating -Talking behind other’s backs -Selfishness
