Meeting Day, Part 2
I waited patiently for the phone to ring again, and it did. This time a voice I had only dreamed of hearing was on the other end. “Hello, Mari, I am Evonne, and I have been searching for our daughter.” Tears of joy and fear filled both mother’s hearts. For eighteen years, Evonne had dreamed…
What is in Your Hands
“Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall…

Love One Another
Do you ever get tired of “doing” church? Often, we can get so busy with “doing” that we lose sight of why we’re “doing.” During this time when we are temporarily unable to meet together as a church body, perhaps we will gain a better perspective on what has been keeping us so busy all…
3 Biblical Directives on How to Comfort
I’ve been thinking about all the care being given out these days. Social media is flooded with words of encouragement, songs of joy and ideas for survival. Hospitals, medical care personnel, pharmacies, grocery stores, small businesses etc. are all trying to provide some sort of comfort in our world today. Hey…even Verizon, who gives no…
A Student’s Perspective
Hearing the news about how our school was taking action against COVID-19 was devastating for many. Graduating seniors had to say early goodbyes to many friends they may never see again. Professors had to rush to make their classes available online. Resident students had to scurry to pack everything and figure out how to get…
