Our day started out just like all the other days.  Get breakfast ready, fix lunches, feed the cat and get a few things ready so we can continue our adventure.  We get to the church, and everything looks like we left it.  I fix lunch and look around a little.  The House is very spacious, and we enjoy watching the view.  We are blessed to be in such a beautiful place with that dam view! It is a peaceful Saturday. …

Snow.  For the last two weeks we’ve had a seemingly endless supply of it!  It’s beautiful, lending an almost ethereal quality to everything it covers.  There’s a peace I experience as I look out my window and see the valley below snuggled in the white blanket of nature. But then I look out the other window and see Rusty in an uphill battle to stay ahead of clearing out snow from our half-mile long driveway so we don’t become marooned…

“Early in the morning, as he was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.” Matt 21:18-19 What if the fig tree was meant to represent our appearance?

Such is the case every Tuesday as the church staff gathers to discuss our ministries, break…

In Acts chapters 8 and 9 you find two stories that speak to me about faith, obedience, and transformation. The first one is found in Acts 8, verses 26 through 40, the story of Philip and the eunuch. An angel of the Lord tells Philip to go to a road between Jerusalem and Gaza, which according to Philip is a desert. Now, how many of us like going to desert places? But, according to verse 27, Philip gets up and…

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. John 1:1-2 (NIV) We live a life full of change, some good and some bad. The seasons change. I love that we live in an area that enjoys the experience of all four seasons. I am enjoying the crisp cool morning and evenings and the warm afternoons. The leaves move through their process of change yet my flowers…

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4    One of Hannah’s chickens hatched some babies this week and watching the babies scurry under her wings for comfort and warmth is such a cool thing to watch. Without her to protect them their little lives would be short.  Each day they seem to come out from under her wings and explore a little more.…
