Welcome to Our Family!

  • 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…

  • A Cup of Water

    A Cup of Water “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.” Mark 9:41 (KJV) Water. Cool and satisfying. It quenches our thirst like no other beverage. As children of God, we want…

  • Seasons Part 1

    Seasons Part 1 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 (KJV) Autumn. It’s my favorite season. Some of the highlights of this period are the cooler weather; shorter days; school is back in session for a new year;…

  • “Are You Okay?”

    “Are You Okay?” My son Kevin Jr has a kind heart and will on numerous occasions ask this question to anyone who he feels is hurting in some way. God created us to love Him and to love one another. (Matthew 22: 37-39 KJV) There are many ways to love others: Helping someone with a…

  • Just in Time

    Just in time God does not keep time as we do. He always existed and has no end. Jesus said in Revelation 22:13 (KJV) “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Our Distractions vs His Peace Let’s face it. A large majority of our lives will have…

  • Don’t Stop Praying

    Don’t Stop Praying What is prayer? A Google search reveals that “in Christianity, prayer is a way for people to communicate with God, and is considered central to the Christian life. It can be a two-way conversation where people both speak to and listen to God, and can be spoken, silent, or sung.” PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 KJV “Do…
