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…

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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…

  • Hold On

    Just A Little Bit Longer “I am coming soon. So hold firmly to what you have, and no one will take away the crown you will be given as your reward” Revelation 3:11 (CEV). The Lord encourages us to hold on. Hold to what we’ve been taught is right. The Holy Scriptures instruct, teach, and…

  • 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…
