“These are a few of my favorite things…” – what comes to your mind when you hear that line? Throughout the month of December, you will be getting a glimpse of some of our favorite things as they relate to posts that we’ve written. Each week will be a different theme.  This will only be

“Sometimes I wonder if you really like what you do.” The “I” was my husband talking to me about my involvement in ministry. “Well, of course I do!  What would make you think that?” “The way that you talk about it…”.  His response hit me hard.  I love what I do in ministry.  I feel

The Old Testament’s historical account of the Israelites, their time as slaves in Egypt under Pharaoh has been often metaphorically compared to a Christian’s life before accepting Christ.

When the name Joseph is referenced in the Bible, what comes to mind?  Usually, it’s the guy with the coat of many colors – the guy who dreamed – the guy who became a big deal in Egypt. However, there is another Joseph in scripture.  The Joseph in the New Testament – the husband of Mary

Is anyone old enough to remember the game Red Rover?  When I was a kid, we didn’t have phones so this was one of our options at recess. In this particular game, there are 2 teams facing each other.  The members of each team hold hands to form a type of human chain. The first
