Power of Hope in Darkness Have you ever considered the power of hope when you’re in the dark? Whether your current darkness is an illness, lost job, overwhelm from life, whatever, it’s likely that hope is the only thing keeping you going. I’m not going to sugarcoat the truth. I think most of us struggle with depression and darkness at least once in our lifetime. For some, the darkness is there more than the light, but you just hang on. […]

What do you do with your powerful words? Do you use them to encourage? To uplift? To Build up? Or are you using your powerful words to shame, scorn and destroy? It’s amazing how many words the average person speaks, hears, and even reads a day. Words which standing alone, have little meaning, but strung into sentences and paragraphs have the power to make or destroy someone’s day. Words like “love, good, wow, impressive, beautiful, and precious” build up and endear. […]

Last Sunday we went though an empty house. Built in the 1800’s, this home was clearly a beauty back in its day. The story goes that the family sent their 15 year old son on horse back from PA to OH with instructions to find land that could be farmed and a good water source. He came back saying he found farmland with good water and a place to make bricks. So the entire family packed up and moved to […]

Are you living fully aware, or are you walking around so caught up in yourself that you are missing out? I know I am very guilty of doing just that. I’m stressed, or busy, or so focused on what I’m doing that I’ve totally missed out on something important. I cannot count the times I miss out on life because I’m so busy just “doing life“.

Social media and the media in general are all buzzing at the moment. People are terrified of the 120+ measles cases nationwide last month.

The church fellowship that I grew up with didn’t support missions. They did support the idea of caring for our own in our church, but if a member wished to become a missionary, there was no support for them from the church. As a young teen I felt God calling me to be a missionary. I didn’t know where to go with it though and due to the fellowship we were a part of at the time, my parents were […]
