I ramble.
I always have and probably always will. So when I get a thought in my head that I’d like to write about, I immediately think of two things that stop me. First, I’ll probably start rambling until I’ve lost my point and my wrists hurt from typing. And, secondly, it’s easier to just call […]
(I started writing this back to Deb in the form of a “comment” but when it started getting too long, I decided to just post it.)
The books are definitely worth reading. I LOVE “series” books. I love having the next thing to look forward to without wondering “what should I read next?” Even if […]
One of my favorite christian people (2nd only to Ruth) is a woman named Ellie. She runs the ladies bible study on tuesday morning, and I have such incredible respect for her. Not only does she have a fierce love for God and a strong knowledge of His Word, but she’s also very encouraging, thoughtful, […]
In regard to the questions we ask God sometimes about the plans He has for us:
“You don’t need the answer to fit into your life; You need your life to fit into the answer.”

Rich, our youth pastor, has been doing this “christian paparazzi” lesson for the last couple weeks. The point is that the kids need to pursue God like the paparazzi pursue celebrities. Last week he showed a clip from Lord of the Rings… the one where Frodo is standing at the edge of Mt. Doom, holding […]
Our youth group, which calls itself “220″ (from a Galatians verse) will have some major transitions coming very soon. Our youth pastor and his wife will be stepping down from ministry in a couple weeks. Depending on which rumors you want to believe, they’re having some overall marital problems and, after discussing it with […]
My friend, Ruth, visited my church this morning along with her dad. I was a greeter at the door and of course had to introduce everyone (I’m surprised at just how many people I actually know now) to “my oldest and dearest friend…one of the first christian friends I made when I got saved.” […]
The first Sunday of each month is special for our church. It’s the day we celebrate communion together, but it’s also a time for something I’d never before experienced in a church. All the deacons and elders stand at the front of the stage/platform and anyone who wants to can come forward and be […]
Crazy! I was watching “House” last night (which is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows) and there was a sick nun in the hospital that they couldn’t seem to cure and one of the doctors who’d been to seminary school once went to her privately and reminded her of 1 Peter 1:7. […]
I was just talking to my brother a little bit ago about the age of the Earth. He asked me if my husband had ever done any research into that. Not that my brother thinks the Earth is 4 trillion years old or anything, just interested in the evidence that it isn’t. The conversation […]
