Enoch’s Faith

Enoch’s Faith

Enoch’s Faith was the title of Pastor Mike’s sermon today. Enoch is important enough to be mentioned in the bible. He has seven verses devoted to him. What can we learn in just seven verses? As it turns out, we can learn a lot from him. Enoch was a seventh generation...
Breathe

Breathe

Lately, I’ve had issues breathing. I feel as if there is a weight on my chest weighing me down. When I cast my glance to the ground, it is a huge effort to take in air. (Yes, I have a doctor’s appointment!) My point in sharing this with you is this. When I look up, it...
The Faith of Abraham

The Faith of Abraham

This week’s sermon by Pastor Mike continued the theme of faith as he spoke about Abraham and his son, Isaac. The story is told in Genesis 22:9-19. Briefly, Abraham and his wife, Sarah, were well advanced in age when Sarah gives birth to their son, Isaac. God had...
In Faith

In Faith

In today’s sermon, Pastor Mike talked about Faith. That God cannot be seen, is an excuse I often hear from people as to why they don’t believe in God. This excuse doesn’t really fly, however. Do you trust when you go to bed, the sun will rise the next morning? Do you...

Be Prepared

Be Prepared

Most everyone knows the Boy Scout motto: Be prepared! How many of us really are prepared? When I told my parents I was moving across the country, they weren’t prepared. When my father passed away, our family wasn’t prepared. When I became an instant (step) mom, I...
Love Your Enemies

Love Your Enemies

Love Your Enemies This is oh so hard for me! I do not know anyone who does not have someone that drives them crazy. For me, it is a person with whom I work. Because I transferred from another office and because I will not buy into the “our culture is different here”...
Let Go

Let Go

There is a book by Business and Life Strategist, Gary Coxe titled Don’t Let Others Rent Space in Your Head. I carry this phrase around with me wherever I go. As I get older, I realize holding grudges, being resentful, stewing on my anger only robs me of precious time....
Gifts

Gifts

I have found in my own life, I get much more joy out of giving than I do out of receiving. Receiving gifts has always made me feel uncomfortable. I love however, to see the joy on someone’s face when s/he receives a gift unexpectantly. We have the power and the...
