A Fishy Story
Tuesday, November 8, 2022 My husband not only has a real gift at preaching and teaching, but is also a great story teller in his own right. One story is pretty fishy and, like his boat stories, needs to be told! He writes; Our family had gone down to Honolulu harbor for a picnic. Since… Continue reading A Fishy Story
We See Through A Glass Darkly
Tuesday, November 1, 2022 Three very beautiful, very different types of birds are feasting at the bird feeder with others constantly coming and going. A squirrel is down below eating what the birds shove off the feeder. Here comes a second squirrel. Others are scrounging amongst all the fallen leaves all around the yard.

A Million Dollar Smile
Tuesday, October 25, 2022 “What do you fear most about going to the dentist?” This was the first question a young, energetic dentist asked me on my very first visit to his office. “The shots,” was my immediate reply.

Are We Almost There Yet?
Tuesday, October 18, 2022 “Are we almost there yet?” It wasn’t the first time I had asked my dad that question since leaving the big city, Calgary, behind us. It seemed like ages ago.

Betrayal
Thursday, September 22, 2022 403 files. Four Hundred and Three! In the last four weeks, besides teaching at CMI and helping teachers with little projects, I have been scanning old files into the computer. Hours and hours of scanning files. By the time I go home for the evening, all I can think about is… Continue reading Betrayal
The Whole Picture
Monday, September 12, 2022 Being a part of CMI (Children’s Ministries Institute®) here at the International Headquarters for CEF® these last two weeks, we are reminded again of the importance of making the gospel clear and undiluted. Salvation is a precious gift of grace. Grace not works. But how often do we take that grace,… Continue reading The Whole Picture
You Can’t Out Give God!
Wednesday, August 24, 2022 Sacrificial Giving. That was the topic last week. The article ended with a challenge to try and out give God. Did any of you put God to the test?
