Welcome to Our Family!

  • Everyone Has a Story

    “Before television and movies, reading books was one of the most popular and widespread forms of entertainment, information, and social connection.” 1 We could read alone or read aloud to others. Reading allowed us to connect with a person or character in the story. To some, it encouraged creativity to construct our own ideas into…

  • A Different World

    “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with…

  • Do You Remember…?

    “I will remember the deeds of the Lord;    yes, I will remember Your miracles of long ago. I will consider all Your works    and meditate on all Your mighty deeds.” Psalm 77:11-12 NIV It’s fun reminiscing through old pictures and letters. Pleasant memories are good to share with family and friends. It’s good to remember people, events, and places. Sometimes the…

  • A New Creation

    “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] the old has gone, the new is here” 2 Corinthians 5:17, NIV. When a person takes the step by faith to confess their sins and ask God to forgive them, they begin an incredible journey that will transform them into the son or daughter that the Father…

  • My God

    The movie “Sister Act”, a musical released on May 29, 1992, follows a nightclub singer (Whoopi Goldberg) who witnesses a murder and is placed in a witness protection program. Where is she placed? Where she will never be discovered, in a convent. I highly recommend the movie. It has comic relief woven into the web…

  • The Men in Our Lives

    Dads, Husbands, Brothers, Nephews, Cousins, and Friends. Each one has the potential to touch our hearts and lives in many ways. These are three men who have loved and encouraged me, my daughter, and everyone around them by their faith in God, their dedication to their country, and their love for people. Today, my dad…

  • The God on the Mountain is Still God in the Valley

    “On a good day, enjoy yourself; On a bad day, examine your conscience. God arranges for both kinds of days so that we won’t take anything for granted.” Ecclesiastes 7:14 (MSG) There is a song titled “God on the Mountain”. 1 “For the God on the mountain is still God in the valleyWhen things go…

  • A New Beginning

    “Forget what happened long ago!    Don’t think about the past. I am creating something new.    There it is! Do you see it?I have put roads in deserts,    streams in thirsty lands” Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV). I believe it’s safe to say that after the major ice and snow blizzard we had last winter, most of us are ready for warmer weather.…

  • Everything Changes

    “For I am the Lord—I do not change. That is why you are not already utterly destroyed, for My mercy endures forever.” Malachi 3:6 The Living Bible (TLB) Changes are both positive and negative. Each day, we change our clothes, and vehicles need periodic oil changes. Babies need diaper changes throughout the day. There are…

  • Blind Faith

    “When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.  The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.  When they came to Jesus, they…
