2 Years

This morning, as I sat with Father, I prayed as I have for a long time that He would bring Emily Rea home. Two years ago today was the last time Emily was seen. As I said a few days ago in this little blog, I’m not sure why some prayers seem to be answered…

Hey Jesus

This morning I was reading a few different prayers written by others. This week we are starting to remove items from the church. It’s daunting in many ways as we work through what to store, what to keep and where, what we no longer need, etc. Yesterday, I found myself just saying, “I have to…

Unanswered Prayers

Last night, as I sat with Father before bed, I said, as I do every morning and evening, a prayer to bring sweet Emily Rea home to her family. Last night, though, it was with a little more earnestness. We’re coming up this week on the anniversary of her disappearance; maybe that is why I’ve…

Short and Precious

Today’s little blog is simple, my friends. I just want to remind you how precious this life is. Our time here is short, and the gifts we’ve been given are many. Live each day as if it were your last. Live each day as if tomorrow you give an account to Jesus about how you…

Just What We Need

Six Days

I took some time off this past week. It was nice. I celebrated my birthday with good friends, sitting by the water, fishing pole in hand for most of the day, and relaxing. The balance of the six days, well, I did much of the same. I can spend hours just sitting on a dock…

250

Yes, we have a pretty major event happening tomorrow, July 4th. I remember our country’s 200th birthday back in 1976. I was actually in Germany; my dad was stationed there. The base did an amazing job making sure that the service members and their families had a celebration. I can’t believe that was 50 years…

The History

One of my team members has been working on a project for us. As we are getting ready to take down and rebuild our church, we have been sharing much of the history of our little church on social media. It’s been interesting to learn all about how it began. The first service was actually…

Walk with an Open Heart

This morning, as I often do, I asked Father what message I could share today. “Open your heart” is what I heard as I sat and prayed. Listening to our Lord is more about listening with your heart than your ears. How many times have you given the advice to someone who is trying to…
