Welcome to Our Family!

  • 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.

  • Back to Normal

    We are officially in the midst of the “in-between” week of Christmas and New Year’s Day. Feeling a little sad because Christmas is over? What about the sights and sounds around you?

  • 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…

  • The Table Is Set

    Holy Week Although the table setting may differ, believers worldwide celebrate Jesus’ last supper with His disciples at various times of the year, especially during Holy Week. What started out as the Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday ended up as Jesus’s crucifixion on Good Friday. Hopefully, you have either seen or heard about…

  • 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…

  • New Year, New Plans
