An invitation means nothing if we are not truly welcomed. A hug is as piercing as a slap in the face when it is the prelude to […]
We watched the movie I’m Not Ashamed last night. It is Rachel Scott’s faith story, as taken from her journals and eye witness accounts to her life and the mass school shooting that took place in 1999 at Columbine High School.

On Ash Wednesday this week, our 8th grade small group met. Right now we are going through some of the amazing chicks in God’s Word. Each girl picked their chick at the end of 2015. As 2016 kicked off, we have had an 8th grader present their “God chick” each Wednesday. Hannah was the topic of our conversation this week […]
Always Remember “HOO” you are and “HOO’s” you are! I picked up that wise momma saying from Lysa Terkeurst years ago at a “She Speaks” conference. Of course, she spelled it correctly but I wanted to capitalize on the painting I did for Virginia for her b-day present. (Painting #5 for 2016 to accompany the weekly post, in accordance with […]
