Slower Schedule Than Usual | Update

I didn't mean to take a break, but when my husband had his spring break I sorta took a break, too. With all that's going on in the world, my schedule is different because my husband is now home. I take a while for changes... Within the past two weeks, I didn't have anything published.…

Cry Out For Jesus In This Weary World

Sheltered in place. Windows are locked. Car keys on hook. Closed in.   Yet, in the stillness thoughts race. In the quiet, fear screams.   Some wonder where You are. Some think this is Your judgment.

Administration & Leading | Spiritual Gifts

(Updated: February 14th, 2022) Some minor edits. I previously compared us to Moses and we are not Moses.  In the same way, Moses was told by his father in law that he needed counsels and appointed leaders to help him manage everyone's problems, administrators and leaders help fill this purpose for a church today.
