Why So Much Fear??

   Have you noticed there seems to be a lot of fear in people today? Fear of the unknown. Fear of other people. Fear of social agendas. Fear of religious bigotry. Fear of a loss of freedom. Fear to speak openly. Fear to live boldly. Fear. Fear. Fear. Did you know that the Bible actually [...]

What Am I Leaving Behind?

 A friend of mine recently lost her grandfather and was asking a question of friends and family.  "What am I leaving behind?" It's a good question and one I know many people ask. I've been asking myself very similar questions in the last year or so. Mine haven't been spurred by a recent death, but [...]

Yeah…I Got Nuthin

Speaks for itself, doesn't it?   I have to admit I've been going through a rather long "dry" season as of late, where some times I feel I have absolutely nothing to say. Which can be rather tricky when you have a daily blog designed to share your thoughts and reflections about life in your little [...]

What The Church Is Doing Right

Yesterday I wrote a blog asking "what is the church" because it seems to me that quite often American Christians mistake "the church" for the building where they worship, popular programs, or the "culture" which has grown up around "the church". However, I think it's safe to say the Bible makes it clear that "the [...]

God Provides But We Still Have To Get The Jars

The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the LORD. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves." Elisha replied to her, "How can I help you? Tell me, what [...]

More Than The Wedding ~ Completing Him Challenge

    We are in week three of the Completing Him Challenge. Since I still haven't figured out the whole "web cam" thing I am having to resort to good old fashioned writing. This week we are focusing on the actual wedding. Do we remember the vows we spoke to one another? What of the [...]

McGuire’s Talk Relationship!

  Thom and I had the privilege of talking to a group of teenage girls today about the topic of relationships. We decided to focus on four important relationships in life…Child/Parent, Child/Teacher, Dating, and Marriage. The group was great and we had a wonderful time! Several of these young ladies asked great questions which allowed [...]

Completing Him Challenge: Week 2

  I thought for the topic this week, Captivating Your Husband, I would try a "vlog", using the web cam. Unfortunately for some reason my voice and the video are not "in synch" but I'm posting it anyway. Feel free to turn it on and minimize the picture (unless you really enjoy "bad Japanese film" [...]

The Inestimable Value of Being Real

One of the most popular and highly touted speakers and writers in the Christian market today is without a doubt, Anne Jackson. She is the author of Mad Church Disease and the soon to be released Permission to Speak Freely, and a blog called Flower Dust. I first heard of Anne Jackson through my husband. [...]

Lovely Day

I don't know about you, but for me today has been all about blue sky, sunshine, productive meetings, and chatting with new friends. I'd say it's been a very lovely day! So why did I pick a song (which is a Christian cover of the original by Bill Withers) where the lyrics are talking about hard times? [...]
