By Prudence Lay, Feature Editor – Do you ever wonder where your fears come from? The fears I am referring to are what I would term “irrational” fears of modern day common place things. I believe they are sent by the enemy of our souls to keep us in bondage.
By Katherine Swarts – It’s estimated that 47 million adults in the United States–and as many as 40 percent of children–suffer from sleep deprivation. Overcrowded schedules that get people up early and keep them up late are usually blamed, but that’s only part of the story. It’s quite possible to
By Nancie Carmichael – They’re coming! Grandkids, that is. And I can’t wait. Willy. Kendsy. Cali. Hogan. Pearson. Jackson. Cole. Hudson. Wesley. Annabelle. They range in ages from fourteen years to twelve months. While Grand-Kid Camp in the summer is our big get-together, there are other times such as holidays
Do you want more fun than you can possibly imagine? And get “falling-down tired” while you’re at it—yet still, come up smiling? Consider having a “Grandkid Camp.” My husband and I have been doing this for four years now and we’re hooked! When our oldest became a teenager, we thought
By Byron Wicker – Dear People Who Keep Company With God: I am going through a heart transition. By definition a transition is (a): passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to another, change. (b): a movement, development, or evolution from one form, stage, or style to another. Looking
By Linda Menesez – We all have opportunities every day to enrich our lives and the lives of others! How many opportunities have you taken advantage of? How many have you missed? What would you do differently, if you had it to do over? I missed an opportunity the other
New Family at Peaceful Grace! What an exciting week at Peaceful Grace Community Church! A new family, the Hodges, recently moved to Brooksville and visited our church last Sunday. They are so neat! Before the service, I volunteered to give them and their two daughters a friendly tour. I love
By Shela Dean – “Dating” is to marriage what “foreplay” is to sex. Dating is the seduction phase of a relationship, the equivalent of the human mating dance where every move is designed to seduce the object of your adoration into loving and wanting you as a mate. In short,
By Olga Hermans – To succeed at being ourselves, we must be confident. When we have confidence in ourselves, we might miss the mark. How does that work? Jesus said “…apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing” John 15:5. We all struggle with
By Janelle Alberts – A kindly, Christian neighbor of mine told me recently that drinking wine was forbidden by Jesus. “Forbidden?” I asked. Had she gotten that quite right? “Forbidden,” she said. “Well forbidden except for special occasions. That’s okay.” But in Jesus’ day, people drank wine for supper. Daily.
By Beverly Munter – I married an older man and after 51 years of a wonderful marriage, I unfortunately found myself a widow. Yes, there were children and grandchildren. But I was single, healthy and alone in my own home; especially at night when I dreamed of the past and
By Linda Menesez, M.S.W., L.C.S.W. – Mother’s Day is always a challenging time for me. Year after year, I seem to wind up standing in front of the rows of Mother’s Day cards, struggling to find a card that will please my mother, while at the same time not feel
By CarolMarie Smith – Let me share a secret with you… A simple, grateful heart is a strategy for the season into which we are moving. It will release joy in the midst of a problem; it will keep our hearts free from disappointment and help us not be critical.
By Byron Wicker- Dear People Who Keep Company with God, Psalms 45:3-4 tells us that the Lord Jesus is riding forth for the cause of truth, humility and righteousness. These three are interconnected and in a sense they are one, but they are different manifestations of the virtues of Christ.
By Olga Hermans – There is such a great need in this hour that if we who have strong marriages and homes can have vision for helping hurting marriages, our own marriage will even get better. If you have gone through a broken marriage, God can reconstruct your life and
By Nicole Montalvo – I would say that we are very close my mother and I, yet we live very far apart. My mother lives in the Netherlands, where I was born, and I live in Central Oregon. My mother loves to travel and visits often. She educates herself about
The month of May never passes without my thoughts turning toward remembering the women of my youth. My mother was a stay-at-home mom of her day. I never wanted for a hot meal, a soft bed, and readied clothes to wear. She was a cook, baker, and housekeeper that I
By Diane Baker – I am sure most submissions will say “my mom is the best”. Well of course I am going to say she is the greatest and if anything ever happened to her I would forever carry a hole in my heart. My mom, Mary C. Brown, just
By Marty Oravetz – As a mother of three, stepmother of two, grandmother of 12 and great-grandmother of one, I’ve learned that being a mother is a lifetime occupation. Every day is filled with trial and error and on the job training. A mother’s role changes everyday. Nonetheless, the
