Angels In Our Lives
Please bear with me this week as we tackle a topic in a different way. I’d like your help with something that has been on my mind of late- angels in our lives. (More on the “why” later…) […]

Lessons From the Mountain
Have you ever had a “mountain top experience”? I had one when I went through a weekend retreat some years ago. Maybe you’ve had them at a youth camp, when you were baptized, or just a time when God moved in you in a mighty way. God gives us amazing gifts and teaches us

God’s Unfailing Love
We’ve all known love in our lives but changing human emotions limit our love. In this week’s blog, we will soak up the essence of what “God is love” means. God’s unfailing love knows no human boundaries and is impossible to fully comprehend. We’ve heard it as children in the song- “Jesus Loves Me” and

Sharing the Good News
I recently came across the “fishers of men” statement Jesus made to the disciples. Jesus called Peter and Andrew while they were fishing and said, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19) That statement (and His promise!) holds true for us today. We can’t follow Jesus around as the

We Have an Altar
I’ve had a song stuck in my head for a week. It’s “Come to the Altar” by Elevation Worship. The words “come to the altar” sound like a blessed invitation. Altars are strictly symbolic now, but I wanted to dig a little deeper into the subject. We have an altar- our hearts. So this week,

I’m old school. I save all my old calendars, so in case I need to know what week my child went to camp 20 years ago, I could find out. Truly useful information also shows up on my calendar, such as annual physical and dental appointments. Maybe you have other annual events on your calendar;

Light and Joy
When I thought about the light and joy of Christmas, I pictured the bright light, the glory of God, which the angels brought down from heaven. They also brought comforting words to those terrified shepherds: “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Luke
Light and Peace
How peaceful are you feeling in this stage of the Christmas season? I’m writing this in its early stages, so while my “to-do” list is long, I am feeling more excited than stressed. But there have been many years before this that I’ve felt anything but God’s “light and peace” in the season. I
Love Came Down at Christmas
Week Two of Advent is here. Hey, I know those cookies don’t bake themselves and it’s easy to get bogged down with all the extra activities the season brings. So if you’re reading this, good for you for spending a bit of time reflecting during this busy season! I’m concentrating on our second theme of

Light and Hope
When I was mulling over ideas for Advent blogs, I read a lot about Advent wreaths. They have been a part of many church services I’ve attended, and we have a simple one at home. The common theme for the four weeks is joy, peace, hope, and love. This week we will look at the
