In every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude. Acts 24:3 (ESV) GRATITUDE – the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness As I sat down to write this piece, I must share with you that I am in the middle of a tremendous storm. Whew! I […]

Trusting God Thursday
There are just some days when it feels like you’re sitting in cement — like completely surrounded by tons of hard stuff — because everything seems hard. Anyone else? Whatever your situation is right now, Friend, it might be a bank account that is dwindling, those bills that are demanding payment, the gas tank that […]
“Enter Through the Veil” by Guest Writer: Karen Roberts
Rushed out of Egypt. Protected from Pharoah’s army. Led on dry land from one side of the Red Sea to the other. Provided bread from heaven and water from a rock. Warmed and led by a pillar of smoke by night. Cooled and led by a pillar of cloud by day. The Israelites wandered in […]
Testimony Thursday by Guest Writer: Blakni Riley
Death is inevitable. Pain feels insurmountable. Grief is survivable I know. It sounds counterintuitive to everything we know. We use words like, “I would never survive that.” Or maybe, “I can’t live without you.” Tossed flippantly, we coast through life without much regard or awareness of life. That is until we are faced with a […]
“Almost, But Not Yet”
I literally looked up at the sky and asked, “How much longer?” This was the view from our backyard mid-afternoon. This is what the skies looked liked today — pretty much the entire day.

Trusting God Thursday

“Turn Your Workplace Into a Sanctuary” by Guest Writer: Leslie A. McLeod
Philippians 4:6 “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” My new sales assistant’s voice bubbled over the phone. A prospective customer had contacted our company with lots of questions. He said it was near the end of the budget cycle and he had […]
Thirty-Seconds Thursday
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. 1 Timothy 2:1 NLT We’ve come a long way from home delivery and waiting in line to entering the grocery stores. Like all other ‘milestones,’ we seem to be forgetful […]
