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

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…

  • Prayer and Praise:

    Powerful weapons against the Enemy “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust’” Psalm 91: 1-2 NIV. To abide or remain also means “to dwell”. In the fifteenth chapter of John, Jesus is speaking…

  • Trust God

    Jeremiah 17:7–8 (ESV) “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream,and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green,and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not…
