Harker Heights Kiwanis Club Meeting 01-17-12 Speaker: Rev. Jeff Miller, Sr. Pastor of First United Methodist Church

Topic: “Don’t pass the buck on to God” Rev. Miller told the club about his time as a Navy Chaplain and his work as a Family Law attorney then his return to his calling as a minister. He brought along his pals Simon aka the monkey and King the lion. His favorite analogy for life is: It is easy to get down the hard part is getting back up. Don’t Pass the Buck on to God. His job is to help us get back up.
