HE HELPS

Posted by Rev. Zach Holdorf on

  When you look at our world today—our culture in the United States of America, and even in our daily lives—it is a difficult reality we face. The world is going further and further away from God. It seems that people just do what’s right in their own eyes with total...

THE “NEIGHBOR” TRIO OF COMMANDMENTS 

Posted by Craig Britton on

  I don’t know about you, but I am good at starting: starting books, starting films and televised series, and even starting meals. And I’m good at not finishing them. Which for the meals part is probably good practice. We don’t always have to clean our plates, but I...

Hugs!

Posted by Peggy Bennitt on

  I’ve just had an incredible two-and-a- half weeks of lovely hugs and snuggles. What a wonderful gift! Do we appreciate the wealth that comes to us each time a grandchild hugs us or an adult child pulls us close for a bear hug or a gentle cuddle? How about the arm drape with a nice...
