By Janelle Alberts – My sister teaches a class of 7th Graders about the Bible. Their parents make them come. They barely blink or smile until class is over and then they bat each others’ eyes out while shoving arms into coat sleeves and bolting out the door as fast
By Chris Wave – I ‘m fifty-four and of the waning Clan called, Prude. Most of this antiquated clan died out with the Pilgrims and Puritans. Remaining clan members, yet alive on the planet are like Shakers; devoid of hope for species perpetuation. Reproductively speaking, we are in the grandmother
By Leona Salazar – I admit it. I hate change. Well, some change. Not all change. I didn’t mind when carbon paper became obsolete and photocopiers were available everywhere. Try typing a 10-page Will with three carbons and no typos. It was a secretary’s nightmare. I didn’t mind giving up
By Karen Lembo – We just had the most wonderful vacation–our first cruise. One of the best things was just sitting on our balcony staring at the blue water passing by. It was so great to disconnect from the computers and cell phones and end-of-the-school year chaos. Actually, I had
By Byron Wicker – Dear People Who Keep Company with God, While I was in Korea I was given a gift, a tailor made suit and white shirt. This is the first time I have ever received a gift that was tailor made just for me. When I purchase suits
By Olga Hermans – Would you say “YES” to the following statement? “We are created by God for progress, accomplishment and fruit bearing”. Ok, so if we want to be sure we are being fruitful and passionately pursuing our purpose, we might have to take a serious look at our
By Sandra Glahn – Excerpted from Sumatra with the Seven Churches (AMG). Two summers ago I joined a group on a Journeys of Paul tour because I needed to do some PhD research in Ephesus, Turkey. One morning as we crossed the Aegean sailing from Patmos to Corinth, my confused
By Susan Lawrence – Have you read the recent research that multi-tasking is bad for you*? Apparently, people who grow accustomed to moving quickly from one task to another are easily distracted by irrelevant information, less productive, and less successful on tests. Really! I’m offended. Who are the multi-taskers in
By CarolMarie Smith – “When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, He saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” (John 6:5) Have you ever wondered why Jesus pointed out Philip in this situation where He soon fed
By Marcia Rotella – Have you spent the past 25 years or so taking so much care of others that you forgot how to take care of yourself? If your wedding gown still fits and you have toddlers at your feet, then this post is not really meant for you.
By Shari Johnson – I have been told for years, long before I understood it, that I have an old soul. Now as I approach the 50th year of my mortal body I not only feel that I have an old soul, I am beginning to believe I have an
By Nancie Carmichael – My husband Bill and I decided to celebrate our Big Birthdays by going with friends on a “Footsteps of Paul” journey. You know, Paul the Apostle—the author of Romans, Ephesians, Philippians and other letters in the Bible that have instructed millions of people through time. I
By Byron Wicker – Dear People Who Keep Company with God: In these changing times we may lose some stuff and more importantly, some relationships. Losing stuff, like a job, a position, having to cutback, or downsizing our standard of living is really hard to deal with, but as I
By Janelle Alberts – My husband picked out the names for each of our kids. I just didn’t have insight as to what we should call them. Then the first time I held each, I thought – “It’s you.” Before a name, before a relationship, I recognized them. I
