Thankful in All Circumstances - Really? by Guest Blogger

When I left him in the exam room, I could hear him chatting and joking with the nurses. Later when I was taken to the recovery room, it was a different story. When my son Steven was 17-years-old, he had 4 wisdom teeth removed. When I arrived in the recovery room, I found him still…

Missing God’s Perspective by Guest Blogger

There is nothing so unique about this testimony, but I believed that God wanted me to share it and helped me write it. I believe it is relatable.  Pastor Denny, a few weeks ago, said that sometimes people just don't take the opportunity to be baptized. And it struck me that I did in…

“The Heartbeat of Prayer” by Guest Blogger

Passion.  Just the word itself stirs up emotion.  What does passion mean to you?  Romance?  Love? Conviction?  No matter what your own definition is, I think we can agree, that the word itself conjures up an intense and intentional action.  Drop in a heart for God and be prepared…

“Fresh Laundry ~ Fresh Perspective” by Guest Blogger

Ephesians 5:1,2  Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. I love the smell of fresh laundry, especially if its been hanging all day…

Object Lessons of the Garden Variety by Guest Blogger

In Mark 4: 15-20, Jesus explains the meaning of The Parable of the Sower: The farmer sows the word.  Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown.  As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.  Others, like seed sown on…

“Snuba?  I Don’t Think So!”  by Lori Clounie by Guest Blogger

Fear has a way of robbing us of our joy and holding hostage our "peace of mind" This moment in my life helped me to clearly see how fear was doing just that! It was back in 2010 when I had the great opportunity to visit Israel with my Pastor and Church Family. It became a "Defining…

Time for Rest by Guest Blogger

I gazed across the still lake. Although it was an overcast morning, the calmness of the lake and the sound of the loons drew me in. The air was cool as I cradled a warm green striped mug in my hands. I wrapped my fingers around it a little tighter as swirls of steam and the welcoming…

Sticks, Stones, and Such by Guest Blogger

Whoever said, “Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never hurt you,” apparently won’t be offended by me saying, “Bologna!” We all know that words, whether they be spoken, blogged, tweeted, or implied, can inflict major wounds. Maybe some of us would prefer the…

Hands Wide Open by Guest Blogger

The lessons we learn in life are reflective of the experiences we have gone through. I can remember thinking how wise my grandmothers were as they gave insight to situations that I found difficult. Both of my grandmothers have now gone on to be with their Lord, but what I realize is that…

Things You Should Know - An Email to Myself by Guest Blogger

I went totally numb and couldn't process the words he said to me.  It was two days before Thanksgiving in 1995 when my doctor gently told me that tests showed the baby I was carrying would be born with Down syndrome. After that, the conversation was a blur as I struggled to keep my…
