TRUSTING GOD THROUGH LIFE’S STORMS

Today here are a… Continue reading TRUST – Sunday’s Sermon
PRAYING WITH IMPACT
Praying with Impact by T.L Wiens Years ago I attended meetings on prayer. The speaker went on and on about how we had to pray “right” to expect an answer.

AWAKENING
Awakening by Jan Cox This week I have been in a fog, maybe even a funk. And yes the picture above is a blur. That is how I have felt. I have had breathing problems this month in Arizona. The pollen doesn’t like me. I am best when I am indoors, which is not pleasant… Continue reading AWAKENING
CRUMBS
Crumbs by Heather McGillivrary In times of plenty it’s hard to imagine that crumbs could be anything but waste, to be wiped away with the trash. A good meal is taken for granted in times of plenty. Sometimes, when my heart is filled up with plenty–plenty of activities; plenty of dreams; plenty of goals to achieve–I give God… Continue reading CRUMBS
