Its a Brand New ... Year - that's something we get every Jan 1. It is a chance to make a fresh start in many ways, and the advertising industry seems to be well aware of this. In fact, if you aren't starting a new exercise program, a new diet, and any number of other new things, you are probably behind the eight ball already. It is a New Year so get with something new already! Some suggestions

If I were to ask, "What are three ways we can show our faith at Christmas?" I expect that one of the answers given would be "We can put a nativity set in the front yard for our neighbors to see." I'd say that works, so there's one. But, when you think about it, the nativity really only shows that we have a set of beliefs. Until our neighbors see that Jesus has changed our lives, they will never

Sometimes I hear someone say, "When I see an opportunity ..." One example is in telling friends about Jesus or inviting them to church. I'll just build a relationship, be a friend, then "when I see an opportunity ..." Well, here is your opportunity. If your friend has kids, or even grandkids, you can invite them all to join us for our Trunk-or-Treat on October 29th, 6:30-7:30 PM at Grace Union.

When God created the animals, he made all different kinds. The animals are each uniquely equipped for their habitats – like penguins for the cold, and giraffes to reach the leaves on high branches. God as also equipped people for unique purposes. Some of us are great at singing, while others are good organizers, and still others are artistic. God intends for us to use our gifts to serve others.

This is a quote from dying man in the desert, isn't it? Did you know that when a person is thirsty it means they have are getting very low on water? There is a need for water long before you actually get thirsty. That's why athletes hydrate before, during and even after activity, to keep water levels up and prevent being thirsty. How do we keep the water levels up? Spend time with Jesus. How do

The sky is an awesome example of God's creation. When I look into a night sky, on a clear night with all of the stars visible, I can't help but think about how awesome God is to have created all that. When God created the sky, He also made the seas and the dry land. I’m glad He made the land, because I don’t think I’d like to live on a boat for very long.  Not just the sky, but everything God

We've been talking with the kids about the creation story, and seeing a unique relationship with our own stories in the process. When the earth was created it was 'formless and empty', kind of like a lump of clay or Play-doh. It might have looked odd; it was an unfinished work; it had such great potential. When we first begin to follow Jesus, we are like that lump of clay or Play-doh. We are an

Everyone has those times when they mess up and need to start over: sometimes that happens when doing a project around the house (especially if it involves a hammer and nails); or it might be when writing an email or a letter (does anyone do that anymore?) and you type something and don't like how you said it; or when you are doing something before reading directions (parents might do this with

Thanks for checking out my blog. Where do I start ............Just a few weeks from Easter and I'm already getting ready. I am amazed when I think of how Jesus went into Jerusalem to shouts of praise just so few days before He was to be sacrificed for us. Jesus quotes one of my favorite verses of scripture (Mt 21:16; Ps 8:2) saying ‘From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise’
