David 
Barringer

Truth Speaker

Dave likes talking about marriage so much that he says it's like crack-cocaine to him. Then he adds, "not that I would know what crack-cocaine is." This guy is so passionate about marriage he wrote a book on it titled, "Mosaic Marriage." I don't know how you pack so much fun, humor, and realness into a self-proclaimed introvert.  Maybe it has something to do with his lively wife Anne?

Carol Harvey

Joy Unlimited 

Counseling Center

When I was growing up, my mother was in a singing group called Joy Unlimited with three of her closest friends. Once I became an adult, married, and had my own family, I learned so much about my mom and how she “counseled” many hurting people in her own community.

 

She was and still is an inspiration to me, and my prayer is that everyone who walks through the doors of Joy Unlimited Counseling Center will feel the hope and peace my mom modeled so well, and be able to choose joy like she did after our time together.
