We have all been cautioned at one time or another to not judge a book by its cover, or just because you never heard of it doesn't mean it is sub-standard. Both ideas fit The Hemet Grocery Outlet in the mini-mall at San Jacinto Street and Florida Avenue on the Eastside of Hemet.

On Saturday July 10th, Brad Ford returns to the Historic Hemet Theatre with his band, Fortunate Son, to perform their remarkable Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival and the music of John Fogerty.

There was once a church pastor who used to give an impassioned, exciting altar call which would end with this ear-catching line — “Come to Jesus and let Him wreck your life.” Gets your attention, doesn’t it?! I actually pondered that simple line for quite sometime before it really sunk in. He was right - Jesus really does wreck your life when you come to Him. He wrecks your old life and sets you on a fresh path with new purposes, passions, and principles. All good! I like how C.S. Lewis puts it, “If conversion to Christianity makes no improvement in a man’s outward actions…then I think we must suspect that his ‘conversion’ was largely imaginary.” True - and this journey is a process!
