A Christmas post worth sharing from author, Carrie Stephens: The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had seen and heard, which were just as they had been told. Luke 2:20 Is “happily ever after” real? If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like, “Will this next treatment finally heal me?” orContinue reading “Merry Christmas | Carrie Stephens”

Can You Refuse Based on Religious Exemption?
Absolutely you can play the religion card. But you need to make darn sure you mean it and aren’t just trying to make a point. If you’re trying to make a social or political statement, do that. Make THAT stand. That’s an entirely different topic that, frankly, I’m not even going to touch. If you REALLY don’t want the vaccine for religious reasons, make sure you mean it… Let’s talk about WHY you need to mean it: personally, legally, and morally.
Why We Must Care for New & Expectant Mothers
By Design, the Rooster Crows Have you ever been up early enough, or stayed up late enough, to hear the rooster crow? It’s still dark outside. On a clear night, you can still see the stars. The Rooster Crows to wake the farmer. My thoughts are that it allows the farmer time to wake, haveContinue reading “Why We Must Care for New & Expectant Mothers”
But God…
Isn’t that fun thing to say? We’ve all said it…I did this…but God…made it THAT! And isn’t it a blessing? Sometimes it’s a big thing, and sometimes it’s a small thing… Bill & I agree on that…
Do What Makes You Oh-So Happy?
I recently gave my daughter an art project, which she hasn’t quite finished yet…but I’m hoping she will before this is ready to post. (UPDATE! SHE DID!!!) I was gifted a sign recently that reads, ‘Do what makes you oh so happy.’ Her project is cross out the word ‘you’ and write GOD in itsContinue reading “Do What Makes You Oh-So Happy?”
Good Friday Services
In case you aren’t attending a Good Friday Service, here are two you can attend online!
Put God, Instead of the Devil, in the Details
I got new glasses a week or so ago – they seemed like a great idea at the time…my ten year old daughter and the 23 year old young lady there to assist us thought they were great. (*Note to self: Maybe check with someone a little closer to my age next time?*) I thoughtContinue reading “Put God, Instead of the Devil, in the Details”
Our Thoughts Should Not Be Our Own
Our thoughts can be a dangerous thing…it’s easy to ignore this part of our spiritual development. And yet, our thoughts can control our moods and our actions. They can affect our relationships with others, and with God. These thoughts can be about ourselves, our situations, other people, the world in general, or specific events…really, nothingContinue reading “Our Thoughts Should Not Be Our Own”
Are you in or out?
We’ve all had to adapt to very different lives over the course of the past year. One of the areas that has changed the most in my household is Church. We rarely miss a Sunday, and are at church most Wednesday evenings. Under normal circumstances. Circumstances are anything but normal. We started off back inContinue reading “Are you in or out?”
Stop Procrastinating and Have a Little Faith in Yourself.
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of working in a factory setting, you know what a ‘hot list’ is…it’s those things that HAVE to get done. Those orders, or products or processes that take #1 priority, regardless of what else is going on. If you’ve never worked in a factory, I encourage you to considerContinue reading “Stop Procrastinating and Have a Little Faith in Yourself.”
