I smiled, watching Natalie dance around the family room to an old Steve Green CD. I sang along, remembering the words of songs I had grown up listening to. One song in particular stood out to me... the words of "Let the Little Children Come" stuck in my head and in my heart. It's a … Continue reading Let the Little Children Come

Peace and Proof (What the Disciples Saw, Part 4 of 4)
Read: John 20:26-29 As we have just celebrated Easter, it seemed fitting to end this Weekly Word series with a recounting of one of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances. At this point Jesus had already appeared to most of the disciples (see verses 19-25 of the same chapter) but Thomas had yet to see Him.

All of a sudden the sound of footsteps … Continue reading Forgiven and Healed (What the Disciples Saw, Part 1 of 4)

Waiting for the Promise (Hebrews 11 Series, Part 4 of 4)
Read: Hebrews 11:13-16, 39-40 I love the anticipation of waiting for something special that you know is on it's way. The traditions and excitement leading up to Christmas. The plans and packing before a vacation. To me that time of waiting only helps make the occasion even more special. But there's another kind of waiting... … Continue reading Waiting for the Promise (Hebrews 11 Series, Part 4 of 4)
