Do you remember going to vacation bible school during the summer when you were a kid? I remember stories, music, games, puppets; and, one memory in particular of a lady that made music by rubbing the tops of glasses that were filled with different levels of water…she was a talented lady! She could make [...]

Here is a story i could sink my teeth into since i am the parent of several special needs children. A young boy, by the name of Adam Race, has been banned from the church that he has attended since 1996. He has been banned because he is autistic, and is very large. He has [...]

Every year on the third sunday of May, is something called, The Blessing Of The Bikes! It all started about 36 years ago. The history of the event says, the first year there were 4 bikes and 8 riders who rode their bikes to Baldwin, Michigan in Lake County. They had a “blessing” on their bikes for safe riding for [...]

Ok, now i have seen one of the most ridiculous things around regarding getting people into church. I read a news report that told about a church in Georgia that put up a sign advertising free gas!
Seems that each time someone “visits” their church they get a free raffle ticket with the opportunity [...]

I celebrated motherhood with two of my daughters and with my granddaughter as well as my mother and one of my sisters. It was great. We had a good time, we took pictures, we played games had good music and food…but, [...]

I am not, by and large, a political person in the way of trying to convert anyone to my way of thinking when it comes to voting; that is not my intention here. In fact…i have not made up my mind about who I am voting for, in the coming presidential election. But, I am [...]

There have been claims of physical, sexual, spiritual and emotional [...]

It is going to be a semi- warm day today, with some breeze. We are offering to go and do yard work for someone who just had surgery. This isn’t really someone who attends our church (regularily). He has loved ones who do.
This is someone who could really benefit from all that God has [...]

I am concerned. I look at the world and i see a general high level of apathy. People just aren’t connected to each other in our world today. This apathy for other’s is scary. What worries me, more, is that i see it from the little ones all the way on up through the [...]
