Some call me David Rails, others call me "Pastor David", while my friends call me Dave. My wife calls me hubby, my kids call me Dad. I call myself... 'a simple man' with a belief that all people have a story to tell, if we would only ... take time to listen! Take time to listen to people all around you. Each one has a unique story to tell, what's your's? Have a "Refreshing Day!" ~David

I know to many this sounds "old fashioned", but I love my country, America the beautiful, the USA. It's the home of the brave, and the land of the free! It was purchased by the blood & treasure of all those who came to these shores believing in a brighter tomorrow for their children and more religious freedom & tolerance for all! My father, his brother and my father-in-law all served this country during WWII and many other young men and women across this great nation, because it was the right thing to do. My classmates from La Quinta HS and my own brother Fred, joined or were drafted to serve in Viet Nam, and many including my brother Jim joined to serve in places like South Korea, Kuwait, Iraq, Afganistan and other distant shoes for our freedom; many who paid the ultimate price...their very lives, all for our freedom! So, this fourth of July I fly my flag and say a special prayer of thanks and praise for these United States of America. May our loving and gracious Lord bless you and all your family today and always. ~David D. Rails, "a true believer." This 4th of July 2012.
