Does He Test

I was thinking about this the other day, wondering, does Father put us in situations to test us, to see how we will respond? I have to admit the answer to that might be above my pay grade. I think it’s a fair question to ask and I’m sure it can make for a very…

Start it Right

It’s going to be a busy day ahead at our Christmas Market. I’m heading out the door to get an early start on some things, and I almost skipped writing this little blog. I figured you all would understand, and then I realized, um, I always have time for Jesus! I’m guessing He knows what…

Shopping for a Cause

Over 20 local businesses plus three of our ministries will be putting the final touches on our booths today. Tonight we’ll open the doors to almost 300 people for our preview party, and tomorrow we’ll see…

Yes Jesus Loves Me

Well yes, yes He does. Jesus does love me, He loves everyone regardless of how we may falter. This morning as I sat down to write this little blog, you all know I did what I usually do…asked how best to share His message. However, unlike most mornings, this morning, I didn’t feel or hear…

Stop and Look Around

Over the past week or so I’ve been seeing some beautiful pictures on social media. Everyone is posting pictures of the change of the seasons.

A Prayer for a Nation

As I mentioned in this little blog yesterday, regardless of the outcome of the elections, I was pretty sure the sun would rise on a new day, and so it has. There was something interesting about yesterday. Throughout the day of course people were posting on social media that they had voted. What I found…

Prove Them Wrong

The lead-up to today, election day 2024, has been something for sure. We’ve heard in the media if either candidate wins the country will fall into turmoil and will cease to exist as a nation. We’ve been told if this candidate or that candidate wins there will be riots and destruction in the streets. Americans…

Prioritize

It’s interesting to me how lately I’ve noticed the many ways that Father provides opportunities to prioritize my relationship with Him. What the heck does that mean, you are probably asking yourself. Well, like most people, my days are pretty jam-packed. Throughout those days, again like most, I have ups and downs, easy sailing and…

Serenity

Just the mention of the word brings a calmness when said. The official definition of the word serenity is; “the state of being calm, peaceful and untroubled”. Well now, don’t we all want that at any given time in our life, or any given time of the day for that matter. This morning as I…
