Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born. –Dale E. Turner, author

There are two “dreams” on my radar today: one that family relationships can be restored, renewed, actually restarted with loving forgiveness, understanding, and new beginnings, and that our church elders today will envision the five-year-plan for the church that they’re hoping to accomplish at their retreat.

Dreams and hope keep us going,…..

One of the great things about this retirement lifestyle is that finally, after all these years going separate ways because of W O R K, Ev and I are able to spend inordinate amounts of time together. It was hard at first to adjust to 24 hour togetherness, the dream of newlyweds, huh? When we first retired in 2007, I disliked waking up to, “What will we do today, Dear?” on a fairly regular basis. Yes, we had a new…..

Bookblurb Job Loss: What’s Next?

Whether due to downsizing, layoffs, business failures, staff cuts, or retirement, JOB LOSS is traumatic.

In this economy, not a street in America has been immune to witnessing the immense tarnishing of the American Dream.

Jesus came to restore mankind to a right relationship with His Father God. Sin stood, and still stands, in the way of that union. While man’s propensity for sin remains, the solution is Christ’s sacrificial love which pays for that sin, amazing as that is. becuase God loves us, Christ was sent to bring us back to know and enjoy God forever.

This was great news to the Greek and Roman world, and should be to post-modern America. However, the…..

When a planned program includes all the sensory images possible, it reaches people in unbelievable depths of understanding. Just such a program is planned for tonight in our church.

A living tableau of the Last Supper, acted out beautifully in costume and the setting of the Upper room, behind a carefully lighted scrim provides rich visual stimulation.

The choir anthems, beautiful solos, and the narration of the Last Supper, and the sermon reminding us of the transformational nature of this…..

This Black day

When evil sin

Holds full sway

Against the true

Pure Innocence

Of the Christ, the Son of God. Rich Royal red blood

Oozes then flows from slashed scourge marks striping

His bared back and deep punctures from the plaited

Twisted thorns of the mocking crown piercing His

His…..

With all the negatives oppressing our psyches each day, I submit we who know Christ need to become salt and light. In other words, we need to add the zest and beauty which encourages others.

The beginning of Holy Week always fills me with a sense of awe, that God would love us so much, He finalized the plan of salvation by sacrificing His Son so that we might live the life He wants for us.

As an earthly mortal, and a mother, I am sure I would do anything for my children, sacrificing myself for them in a minute. That’s what mothering is all about. But, would I willingly sacrifice them? Now that’s a…..
