Dawn of a New Day

It is indeed the dawn of a new day. Yesterday was another day filled with emotion as we come together to help those in need in the states affected by Helene. What was so wonderful though, the connections that have been made to share with others. This person has that friend, who knows someone there,…

Praise You in This Storm

I’m not sure about you but yesterday was difficult. The images on social media coming out of Eastern TN and North Carolina were like nothing I’ve seen before. It’s difficult to understand the depth of the destruction that Helene has caused in these areas. I saw a report yesterday that over 30″ of rain fell…

Helene

We know what they do for a living, we know about their children, that kind of thing. Last night though, we had wonderful conversation, sharing even more about our backgrounds, growing…

Take The Detour

I’m not a fan of the days getting shorter. The whole drive to work in the dark, drive home in the dark thing, nah, not a fan. However, I have to admit, the sun setting a little earlier allows my husband and me to stop on the way home from work and catch a sunset…

Face Giants

Several weeks ago I talked about a group of friends communicating regularly through a group text. We frequently lift prayers for each other when needed, provide an encouraging word, or give hearty congrats when great things happen. One morning a member of our group posted a link to a wonderful song. Then another link was…

Update on Emily

Over the last few months I’ve asked almost daily that you all help me to lift prayers for the niece of a friend of mine, Emily Rea. She went missing on July 16th near Hungry Horse Reservoir, MT. Many of you have asked me if there is any news about the search or her whereabouts.…
