Maybe the fact that the horse in this statue has its two front legs off the ground will give you a clue as to where this Mystery Photo is located. Maybe it won’t. Anyway, send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.

FOCUS: Truth ministry has special partner in 72-pound golden retriever

By Scarlett Rigsby, Lawrenceville, Ga. | “Building relationships.” “No us and them.” “Meeting others where they are.” “It all counts”….these are statements frequently heard when the mission of Nothing but the Truth Ministry is explained.

I founded Nothing but the Truth as a charitable 501c3 in 2010 with the idea that it would seek to understand the needs of the community and then to mobilize ministry partners to meet those needs. What began as a small Bible study in a room of a local extended stay hotel has grown rapidly into a multi-faceted ministry. In 2013, the Nothing but the Truth’s Ministry Center opened its offices on Langley Drive near downtown Lawrenceville. It is centrally located near several low-income housing options.
