HAVE YOU NOT BEEN LISTENING?
Have you not been listening? by Jan Cox We have a small malti-poo named Snowball. She is almost two years old. Although I took her to puppy training she was still – what shall I say – less obedient than I wanted. I know she looks innocent in this picture. This fall we tried out… Continue reading HAVE YOU NOT BEEN LISTENING?

SIDELINED BUT BACK ON TRACK
Sidelined but Back on Track by Jan Cox Last Friday I wrote about my husband’s car accident and how he was t-boned at an intersection.

Everyone is hurt, especially the pastor. Can we see it coming? In hindsight yes. Most often not… Continue reading PRAYER FOR OUR CHURCHES

THE UNSPOKEN PRAYER
The Unspoken Prayer by Jan Cox Remember when we were kids and our parents would try to persuade us to eat foods that would keep our bodies healthy? As we grew older we realized this as wise counsel. The Holy Spirit also tells us the wise way – God’s way – in all situations, to… Continue reading THE UNSPOKEN PRAYER

Unable to Trust by T. L Wiens “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;… Continue reading UNABLE TO TRUST
