“Jesus Was Too Busy to Pray Too”
Dec 31st

A good New Year‘s Resolution is to spend more time praying and listening to God. But we often say we have no time to do so! Read Chris’s interesting thoughts on this.
“Jesus Was Too Busy to Pray Too”
by Chris Vasecka
Read Luke 4:31-44
Are you busy? Don’t answer. I know the answer is yes. We are all busy. We have work, and kids, and baseball, and swimming, and church, and hobbies, and yard work, and, and, and… We certainly don’t have any space left for personal time with God. We couldn’t possibly start our morning in prayer and study. Oh, More >
He Gives More Grace
Nov 5th
Even while in nursing care, Mom played the piano for as long as she was able.
by Karen RobertsOne of my mother’s favorite songs was “He Giveth More Grace.” She loved to sit at the piano and play hymns, and that song was one that she frequently played. When I was young and carefree, I didn’t really think about what the words meant. But Mom recently passed away, and on the list of her favorite hymns was this song”

Oh Death, Where Is Thy Sting?
Oct 21st
1 Corinthians 15:15 asks, “Oh death, where is thy string? Oh grave, where is thy victory?”
These words come to our minds when we have loved ones who have loved and followed Jesus, and who are dying or who have recently died. We know that they are simply leaving their bodies and going on to be with Jesus in a far better place than this earth - a place where there is no sickness, no sorrow, and no pain. Heaven is a place where they will see their precious Savior and worship Him forever, as well as seeing their beloved friends More >
In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him
Aug 15th
by David Roberts Proverbs 3:6 is a well known and often quoted Scripture verse. “In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.” The goal is to have the great Creator and Operator of the universe actually take the time and interest to direct our paths. That sounds like an offer too good to be true, yet it is Scripture; it is God’s Word, and He is no liar since the father of lies can find nothing in Him. Who wouldn’t want his or her paths directed by the One Who knows the future now before it happens More >
Does God Have Wings?
Jul 29th
Under His Wings
When the Bible talks about God’s wings, does it really mean that He has wings, or is it a metaphor? When we read these Scriptures, we need to figure out whether they are giving an actual description of God or whether they are revealing an aspect of God’s character through a word picture. Let’s look to see what the Bible says about God having wings.God’s Wings in Ruth
When Boaz heard about how Ruth had left her home in Moab in order to care for her widowed mother-in-law and to follow the true God, he said, More >
Replacing the Food Pyramid
Jun 4th
//
Eat Healthy!
Over many years kids have been taught about the food pyramid in school. It was an attempt to encourage healthy eating. But in spite of everyone learning about the food pyramid, the percentage of overweight people has been vastly increasing over the years, and the fast food industry is growing. So now the government has done away with the food pyramid and has replaced it with “MyPlate.” This new visual (in the form of a plate) suggests eating balanced portions of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and dairy foods at each meal.
It seems to me that the problem with More >
Launch Out Into the Deep
Apr 8th
Launch out into the deep. Luke 5:4
by Karen Roberts
The crowd was pressing in on Jesus as He spoke to them by the Lake of Gennesaret. They wanted to hear Him speak, and perhaps many of them had heard how he had been healing all kinds of diseases and setting people free from demons. He saw Simon Peter’s boat and asked him to let Him sit in it. They went out a little ways away from the land so that the crowds would not keep pushing against Him. And there He sat and taught them.
Then he turned to Simon Peter and More >
