IN THE ROAR OF YOUR WATERFALLS
Deep calls to deep because all of us long for intimacy. Vulnerability that reveals the depths of our souls. It is a dangerous thing. … Our only safety is in love that is even more profound. In God.
COMMUNITY – Five Minute Fridays
Community What would we do without others in our lives. They make the world sing, they bring us joy and peace; they help us when we are down, sick and just feeling out of sorts. I belong to a few communities. We have lived in a small town for almost 9 years. We know many… Continue reading COMMUNITY – Five Minute Fridays
WELCOME TO THE WELL – Sunday’s Sermon
Welcome to the Well Scripture taken from John 4:1-26. You can also see this Scripture on Youtube. You can view the podcast. One thing I like about the way Pastor John gives a sermon is the historical background he gives us. The story of the Samaritan woman at the well is known to many of us… Continue reading WELCOME TO THE WELL – Sunday’s Sermon

In Philippians, Paul is in jail, in chains, yet he is praying not for himself but for Christ’s church and His people. And the word I… Continue reading CAST YOUR BURDEN ON CHRIST
A LONG DISTANCE HUG
A Long Distance Hug by T. L. Wiens I hadn’t seen him in years. Life had taken us to different geographical locations but many of our life journeys had common themes. I knew that from updates on Facebook. He threw his arms around me and held on. I can’t remember the last time I received a… Continue reading A LONG DISTANCE HUG
GOD IS LOVE
God is Love by T. L. Wiens A few days ago, I read a blog that dealt with 1 John 4:8, “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” And even though I’m not sure I totally agree with the blog author’s path, our conclusions are the same; the definition of love in… Continue reading GOD IS LOVE
