I will have to put Extraordinary Measures in my 2010 Top 10 Movies. On the recommendation of my son, my husband and I sat down to watch this movie via Netflix. (By the way, we have had Netflix for over five years and we love it!) Inspired by the true story of John Crowley and…
Anne Dalton has been a friend for over 15 years. After seeing her this past week, I can say without any doubt – I have not met all the many faces (facets) of Anne! This woman takes her gift for teaching (26 years in Title 1 schools) into her current season as an historical interpreter,…
Abortion is a terrible thing. I know. I have been through it. It was over 30 years ago and yet I still remember the day vividly. God has forgiven me. I have forgiven myself. It took a very long time for that to happen. Despite my personal knowledge of the long-term effects of going through…
Suicide has touched my life this week. The son of a woman I know committed suicide. He leaves behind family that is beyond devastated, including his own young children.

As September draws near even the churches who have taken a summer vacation have put out their bulletins and dusted off their websites to entice members to sign up for small group classes. Leadership personnel are hit with Saturday and after-work, late-in-the-evening seminars to prepare them for various committee positions and re-certify them to teach…
Some may find my title too graphic and in poor taste but I do have a point. The crimes that Michael Vick chose to commit and received the legal consequences would be called horrific in my ledger. I like animals. I have pets. I also like steak and hot wings for dinner. проститутки ховрино большие…
I recently red a blog written by a grandfather about his grief that he was experiencing following the death of his granddaughter from cancer. He shares what God has shown him about faith. But what about those who are not healed? And no matter how many, how long or how fervent the prayers, they die….
Henry recently pointed out an online article on The Christian Post about Dan Lucarini, author and apparently a former worship leader.
