Like a priceless treasure, He came. As I reflect on our service yesterday, this is what came to my mind. It was such a holy anointing. A holy hush as we each were challenged to go deeper in our relationship with Christ. And it was so sweet to see the response at the altar as…

In Faith We Stand
Three months after day 100….. It’s been awhile since I posted an update. Where to begin? With all that has happened since the transplant, it’s easy to wonder, “Does this mean transplant didn’t work?” The answer to the question is no. It is not a reflection on the effectiveness of the transplant. It’s just simply…
Today’s gathering. Just two. Plus One. On this Pentecost Sunday, we took time to worship Him together. We had just walked through a difficult week. Most of Saturday you could find our hands just like this – holding on to each other. Today I reflected on the past week. Early in the week he was…
He Still Holds Us
Days after Day +100 I know many have waited for me to post about tests results. Well, I don’t even have words. In fact, doctors don’t either. But Monday morning found us back in ER.

Enemies. They come in different forms. For us, our current enemy is not one of human nature that we can sit down and attempt to reason with. Instead this enemy came in slowly under the radar. It showed itself gradually over the last two years in different forms. Today we are tackling it week by…
Always ‘n Forever

He Fully Understood
The 2020 Passover has come at us in full force. As our world has been hit with a plaque, so many have taken to focusing on this ancient feast and its meaning. To me, it is significant that we are seeing red ribbons on doorposts. For the most part, gone are the bunnies that usually adorn front lawns. Instead, we have the reminder that One Person has the answer. One Person paid the ultimate price. It is as if God cried out, “No more will I share MY Passover Feast with another god! Only My Son deserves the focus.”
