Mon Nov 18 – It Has Wheels!
Our lives will never be perfect. There will always be challenges and things that bring us down. Christ can’t magically make those things go away, but He does offer us ways to make carrying them easier.

Wed Nov 6 – The One Where You Do A Good Deed
What makes something a good deed? Is it good based on how many people it helps? Is it good based on the impact it can make in a community? Is it possible to spoil a good deed? Joey thinks so.

Thu Oct 24 – It Matters
Does anything matter? Careful now… it’s easy to go down the rabbit hole with a question like that. But we’ve all thought it! Is there an answer? Yes.

Tue Oct 15 – Roots and Wings
It’s tough to know whether or not we are doing the “right” thing, but we do know that life has its seasons, and those seasons change.

Tue Oct 8 – Everyone is Welcome
I love a good baked bean recipe. One taste and I’m filled with childhood memories of a bustling fellowship hall full of familiar faces, delicious smells, and full plates. Our sanctuary on Sundays was never full, but the fellowship hall for weekly suppers always had a line out the door.

Thu Oct 3 – Courage to Create Space
My hot temper has gotten me into trouble more than once. It’s hard to let someone say something untrue or mean and just get away with it! I’m realizing it takes a lot more courage to step back than it takes to fight back.

Mon Sep 23 – Courage to Participate

I am a scaredy pants, but my girls don’t need to know that. As a mom, as a camp counselor, as a teacher, it is and was my task to protect “my” kids. Even when I was scared, I needed to summon the strength and courage to make the smart decisions to keep them safe or teach them something worth knowing.

Nerd out! Your joy is contagious! Even if I don’t understand the subject matter, I do understand the happiness shining through your enthusiasm.

Thu Jul 18 – Trust God to Give Us Peace
I envy the people who can recognize a trigger response in themselves and redirect it before it becomes a full-blown panic attack. It takes something special to defuse the bomb threatening to go off in your nervous system.

Wed Jul 17 – Trust God to Share Wisdom
Why do fireflies butts glow? Why is chocolate brown? Why is the kitty curious? Having a 3-year-old means I’m exploring new things every day.
