In November we set aside a special day to gather with family and friends and give thanks. But what about the other 364 days of the year? Through the day-to-day grind of hectic schedules, unexpectancies, and disappointments, giving thanks doesn’t always seem to be that easy. However, gratitude is a powerful weapon that can change [...]

Get it?
Posted in Inspirational, tagged Apologetics, Christianity, Jesus on October 27, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The other evening while in a discussion over Scripture, my son asked, “Why don’t people get it?” Although he was referring to those outside the Christian faith, I began thinking of those who claim to be Christians, but don’t seem to get it, either. I think we all fall into that category from time to [...]

Time is an amazing concept. Our lives revolve completely around it. Appointments, deadlines– time to be here or there. Time to do this or that. We wake up at this time or go to bed at that time. Often we feel our time is stretched to the maximum. For some of us it’s about time [...]

So they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.” – Joshua 1: 16 (NKJV) I enjoy the colorful array of fragrant flowers blooming in my garden. Unfortunately, so do honeybees! All around they buzz, swarming for the sweet nectar found within each beautiful [...]
Living the Gospel

I heard someone recently say, “Sometimes, Christians talk too much and live too little.” So many times we just talk. Week after week we go through the motions, focusing within the four walls of our church building to make sure we keep things moving along –trying to keep our lives active with church commitments. Sometimes, we [...]
Who was St. Paddy?

Though letters and historical notes have been recorded, intertwining legends and folklore keep us from really knowing all the facts about the man we remember as Saint Patrick. Whatever the real story, I do know that he used everyday objects and the culture of the day to teach the love of God and carry the gospel [...]

Our church is spending the month of March in Evenings of Impact. Special guests have been invited and messages and songs have been prepared in hopes that we as a church will be moved to move forward. Yesterday our pastor made this powerful statement: “There’s no way to impact the world unless we are impacted first.” [...]
Doing Nothing

Do you ever feel like you’re one of those hamsters running on the wheel? Or worse, one in that horrible plastic ball? I mean, do you really think the hamster enjoys your giggles while he runs around the floor unable to escape the strange contraption? How cruel is that? My husband told me the other day that [...]
How Beautiful
Posted in Inspirational, tagged beauty, the cross on March 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It’s your humanity that makes you beautiful. – What is beauty? In a world consumed with being beautiful, Hollywood, billboards, and other ads have warped our thoughts and created some well, quite frankly, PATHETIC attempts on what is so-called beautiful. I mean really–constantly in court fighting over custody battles, divorce, drug/theft charges–are you really that gorgeous? [...]
