Welcome to Our Family!

  • Who Is My Neighbor?

    Who Is My Neighbor/ “According to Jesus, your neighbor is anyone in need, regardless of their background or relationship to you. Jesus illustrated this with the Parable of the Good Samaritan, where a Samaritan, traditionally an outsider, showed compassion to a wounded traveler, and the traveler was the Samaritan’s neighbor.” 1 Luke 10: 29-37 (KJV).  These photos…

  • Thankful

    Happy Birthday! Birthdays. We all have one day each year when we can celebrate. Yes, individuals of all ages have one, which means the more we have, the older we become. My brother and I share the same birthday, but ten years apart. I would like to thank him for accepting this fact and allowing…

  • A Daily Walk

    A Daily Walk Many individuals and families enjoy including a walk in their day. Maybe it’s with a friend during a lunch break at work or perhaps it’s part of a family outing. I’d like to share some thoughts on a different kind of walk. Walking with Jesus. Before Jesus ascended back to His Father…

  • God is Faithful

    God is Faithful These last few days, we’ve experienced various weather conditions: We’ve had snow and freezing rain. The sun came out and we started hoping that Spring would soon be near. This past weekend we had rain for two (2) days. The wind had increased significantly, making the day feel even colder. In the…

  • Angels Among Us

    Angels Among Us There were two popular television shows with themes surrounding angels: “Highway to Heaven”, starring Michael Landon and Victor French from 1984 to 1989, and “Touched By An Angel”, starring Roma Downey, Della Reese, and John Dye from 1994 to 2003. Stories were told about how angels walked among humans and assisted them…

  • New Year, New Plans

    New Year, New Plans The holidays were amazing! We celebrated the birthday of our Lord and then, a week later, the beginning of a new year. For many of us, 2024 was a difficult and challenging year: family and friends continued to deal with sicknesses, financial loss, losing their jobs, and the brokenness of grief…

  • Giving at Christmas

    Giving at Christmas This time of the year we especially remember God’s Best Gift when He sent us His Son to live among us. “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NIV) These days, there are numerous ways…

  • When God Says, “Wait”.

    When God Says, “Wait”. Technology is both a blessing and a challenge. Microwave ovens became affordable for residential use in the late 1970s, and cell phones became popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. Even as a Baby Boomer, I remember our family enjoying instant mashed potatoes during our evening meal. ATMs and fast-food drive-in…

  • He Knows Your Name

    He Knows Your Name “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,And He who formed you, O Israel:“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;I have called you by your name;you are Mine.” Isaiah 43:1 (NKJV) It’s refreshing when we cross paths with a friend whom we haven’t seen for some time. We call each other by name and…

  • A Burst of Sunlight

    A Burst of Sunlight I believe it’s safe to say that we have all been in dark places in our lives. It may be a literal place of blackness, but more often than not, it is a time with shadows that confuse us as to which direction to take. “And I will bring the blind…
