A lot of people love milk toast, I hear. I read it’s kind of like a bread pudding which you eat for breakfast. It’s made by taking a piece of toast and letting it sit in milk for about 30 minutes, and then topping it with cinnamon sugar. Basically it’s a piece of soggy bread, … More Don’t Be A Milk-Toast Christian
I don’t know about you, but it seems to me like the Lord often opens doors of opportunity when we least expect it. And a lot of times He asks us to do things that we never even thought of! About 3 years ago, the Lord blessed our congregation by allowing us to move into … More Yes, Lord
Probably most of you are familiar with the old commercials “Got Milk?” which showcases various people with white milk-mustaches on their faces. But “Peace” is a lot harder to come by sometimes, isn’t it? You can’t just open your refrigerator, grab a carton and have peace come pouring out. There’s only one way to get … More Got Peace?
Are you a complainer? Come on, ‘fess up. Your dinner’s too cold, the weather’s too hot, my bed’s too hard, you hate it when the dogs bark, they have a better car than I do. On and on it goes. I don’t like being around people like that; but then all of a sudden I … More Like Any “Whine” With That?

The first session was on “Why am I here?” After finishing that first session, us gals rejoined in the main lodge, where we were told … More Speak To Me Lord, #2

Which is why sometimes you need to get away from all your familiar surroundings so you can just … More Speak To Me, Lord
We need to learn to “rest” instead of “stress” don’t we? It seems like almost everyone I talk to is under stress of some type or the other. How about you? When I’m stressed I don’t sleep well, I tend to eat everything in sight, and I get pretty cranky and irritable. But I’ve learned … More What’s Your New Year’s Resolution?

But when I’m in a large group of people, I’d much rather take up my position on the back wall and watch things, rather than walk around mingling. But does God want us to be wallflowers? One day … More Take That Bold Step – Don’t Be A Fig Tree!
Christmas is almost here – right around the corner as a matter of fact! And year after year we sing songs and hear sermons about how God sent His Son to earth as a human baby to live among us, and then died for us, because of His great love.
