I came across this quote the other day and I had to sit and ponder it for a while. Character and the building of it, is not something we hear a lot about these days. It’s not “PC”, not cool or hip, or “fly” as my kids say, anymore. When did it go out of [...]

I thank God he sent us to North Carolina. It’s not been an easy road, I’m not going to lie, it’s been tough in a lot of ways. However, I am now starting to see some wonderful benefits from our move. I am learning who I am, not who I could be, should be, or [...]

There was a huge church picnic today. I have to admit, it was a little rough for me. My kids would say it was an “epic failure”! Oh, don’t get me wrong, the picnic itself was great. The food was yummy, (even if there was not a drop of real sauce at this “bar-b-que”! must [...]

I was looking around my house today, you know, the one I’ve only lived in for about 3 months. I was amazed at how many things I am already in the habit of overlooking; the marks on the wall by the couch, the dings in the wall from the furniture, the spot on the carpet [...]

I stand looking out the window of my life. So much has happened in the last year. Reflecting back, I remember it all started with a phone call. My Dad, who celebrated 88 years of life in Feb 2009 and resided in Southwestern Virginia was told by his doctor he had a few months to [...]

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on [...]

It is “good”. It is appropriate and beneficial. It is excellent and right! It is better! It is precious. Two things…hope and wait. When you don’t know what to do, it is better to just hope and quietly wait. For what? For God’s deliverance. For His divine interception. For whatever it is that He has in mind for [...]

If you’re going through it, just keep right on going! Do we attract undue demonic attention to ourselves when we decide to wallow and complain in our personal fiery trial? Do we have a spiritual “kick me” sign on our backs when we stop trusting God, and start feeling sorry for ourselves? When we go [...]

Have you ever been overwhelmed? Have you ever lost your temper with someone, overreacted, or blamed someone unfairly? This is the state that I have been in for the past few weeks. I have felt completely overwhelmed, living minute to minute, and just trying to keep up. I lead a busy life. I consider it [...]

You can’t read or hear the news without being bombarded with the topic. All of the latest and greatest things have “green” or “clean” in their names. We are encouraged at every turn to make any small change in our daily habits in order to effect big change for the earth: recycle, turn off the [...]

Get out of Satan’s interrogation chair. As a child of God, one of the things your enemy is trying to do is to wear you out! Satan thinks he can wear you out like a garment. With great and constant harassment, he thinks you will fade away and fall off, like an over used garment. The [...]

by Andrea Bankert There is nothing better than tomatoes fresh off the vine in the summer. Slice them up and sprinkle them with a little bit of salt and pepper and I am in heaven. If you’re one of those people with a raw veggie aversion (like my husband who is slowly coming around), I [...]
