Good morning, Today’s teaching is on embracing change. So many of us do not like change. We fight it or make our lives so routine and comfortable that something new sounds like work, or fear keeps us from moving on or bad habits seem too hard to change. Well, I am about to do a … Continue reading Embracing Change →

Good morning, I just got back from a trip out to California and I love to take the three-hour flight and just read a Christian book or the Bible.

Good morning, I was watching a Christian woman on the internet and I loved this statement and paragraph quote: “God, you go in first and then I’ll follow.” Asking God to go in first works for me because I know He’s there. He’s always there, but when we invite Him in, when we invite Him … Continue reading God, You Go in First →

Good morning, Today is gorgeous in Minnesota! Blue skies and warm temperatures. Tomorrow, all is supposed to change with 12–24 inches of snow predicted in some areas. Isn’t that life? One day all is great and then everything can seem to change in 24 hours. Now, it doesn’t have to be bad things that change … Continue reading Imagine Bigger →

Good morning, The last few weeks have been quite a time for quite a few people that I love and hold dear to me. My brother’s wife’s family lost both of their parents and a nephew Ryan, all in less than one week. Just devastating and hard to imagine any family going through that. My … Continue reading Ryan, Regina, Dan, Betsy, and Robin →

Good morning, Today is my older dog, Jordan’s, 16th birthday!! I am so thankful for him! He has all kinds of lumps and bumps on his skin and artificial knees. He can’t hear a thing and is missing a few teeth. Jordan bites at anyone who tries to touch his face, especially the groomer. We … Continue reading My Dog is 16 Years Old Today →
