Soaking in the Grace

I saw you today. I saw the frustration coupled with the fear. I understood when you needed to say a few things to Me. I’m glad you came to Me. You didn’t go running to someone else, but knew that I was the only one that could help you. I have people praying for you. [...]

What is Happening?

Christy Christopher — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 04:25:34 +0000

Is life getting more difficult, or is it just me? Easier days seem to have evaporated in my life. There is no let up. There is no reprieve. Fiery trial after fiery trial. Flood after flood. I told the Lord this morning that it seems like I only come to Him when I need something, [...]

You Will Freak Hell When You Agree With God

Christy Christopher — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 04:24:09 +0000

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish [...]

Baseball, A Winepress and Biscuits

It appears spring is right around the corner, knocking on the door, skipping up the walk, coming in for a landing, you get the picture. It’s just about here! No one, anywhere on the face of the planet could possibly be more ready for it’s arrival than I am. Winter has finally broke my yuckometer! [...]

Relationship 101

Jennifer Pasquale — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 02:27:35 +0000

I’m MAD! I’m SAD! AND I’m Glad! Mad at the enemy for tearing apart marriages, SAD for the lovers who stop loving each other in tangible ways on a regular basis. Sad for the casualties left behind because one person put their own selfish desires above all else. This world is full of confusing messages. Sexuality abounds [...]

Grace

Some time ago, I had the opportunity to attend a Marriage Conference at our church with my husband. The speakers were Rusty and Leisa Nelson and they spoke to the structure of marriages and the correlation between the Church and our spousal relationships. There was one statement made that has stuck with me (although not [...]

Pollyanna Christianity

Christy Christopher — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 01:59:01 +0000

In the midst of a conversation with a treasured friend today the term “Pollyanna Christianity” popped out. What could that mean you might say? I’ve noticed that there can be a mindset in the church that causes an atmosphere of condemnation. How about this… Some grief is so deep that we will probably carry it to [...]

Living In The Throne Room Of Grace

Christy Christopher — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 03:40:39 +0000

To forget those things which are behind can be a really steep order! Did you know that this word “forgetting” occurs one time in the King James Version? Some of us have had some pretty traumatic happenings in our lives. Here’s what the Hebrew word for forgetting means: to forget, neglecting, no longer caring for, [...]

Chicken soup, holy and otherwise

Kathryn Bowden — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 03:20:43 +0000

It has come to our house. I was afraid it would, have battled against it, refuse to consider the possibility of it’s arrival, but it has made an appearance anyway. It’s the dreaded flu. Thankfully most of us managed to get a flu shot this year so that’s helpful. It seems this years strain is [...]

Dismount, the horse is dead!!!

Kathryn Bowden — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 02:49:35 +0000

This week is not progressing the way I had intended it to. I am without a vehicle, carless, non-transportation endowed, walking, hoofing it, on foot, sans carriage, you get the picture. I can’t go nowhere! WAHHH! It seems J’s beloved truck has serious issues. They told us at the shop it would take way more [...]
