He woke me up (by attendee Lucinda)
One night I had stayed up much later than I should have since I have to be up for work at 4:00 am. I had been putting the final touches on a big presentation that I needed to give at work the next day. After saying my prayers, I went to bed very, very…

God in the Small Things Baking is not one of my strong suits but I love to gather my family together and celebrate special occasions. A few weeks ago we were getting ready to celebrate our daughter Amanda’s birthday. I asked her what she would like for dinner. Her requests included brownies with ice cream,…

Welcome to February when we celebrate love! We’ve talked quite a bit on this blog about the fact that we need to be in the presence of God’s love in order to love others, to turn our hearts, troubles, and questions over to God. That we need to take these things to Him, because…

She is a survivor of the Rwandan holocaust that happened in…
Read MoreGod and Women
Last week we talked about looking for our life purpose, and how to find out what God’s plans for your life may be. But before God can move us into the purpose for which He created us, maybe we need to know for ourselves how God feels about women in general. It’s really simple. He’s crazy…

This week’s Share Saturday is a very tender story from one of our alumni, Heather. Heather has been such a joy to know better and I love to be in her lively presence! This post is a great introduction to the idea of how God can really use the physical world around us to show…
