!!WHAT DID YOU SAY!! Responding To The Unexpected

Hearsayby Pastor Joe Flores
The unexpected often happens in our lives to reveal the depth of our real character, the person who we really are, our truest self. In a court of law there is a rule concerning "hearsay".

The 2012 JQC annual report states:
"In calendar year 2011, the Investigative Panel received 587 complaints.
