More about our recent trip to Japan:
4. Every morning we had a buffet breakfast at the hotel where we stayed, and each night we stayed in a different hotel. So we experienced a different buffet every morning, but the food offered were very similar. The first impression of every hotel is the large hall…
As part of the Bible lesson on Sunday I told the children at church about my aunt being in the hospital and most likely going to die.

When I was single, many many moons ago, one of the most oft asked questions in any discussion was, “How do you know if this is Mr. Right (or Mrs. Right for the guys in our conversation)?”

Luke 21:4 NASB
Let me tell you the true story of a really generous giver.

I think I’ve read The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe at least 3 times. I’m reading it again…and it’s even more exciting than the first time.
C.S. Lewis is a master story teller, and the spiritual truths he weaves in are powerful.
The White Witch’s lure with Turkish Delight was once again brought home to…
In difficult economic times, many non-profits are struggling. If you’ve been blessed by God with a job, this would be a good time to give a little extra so those ministries can continue to do good work.
There are so many good organizations, how do you decide which ones to give to?
