I have a big mouth. By that I mean I have what I lovingly call the “Peter Syndrome.” Those of you who are familiar with the New Testament might figure out (and rightly so!) that by “Peter” I am talking about the apostle Peter. You see, like Peter I have a habit of shooting off … More Oh, Me and My Big Mouth!
I’m sure many of you have had those days when it feels like the pain will never go away. The minutes, hours and days drag on and on… During those times we look around and we see others smiling, laughing and acting like they haven’t a care in the world. Then we look at some … More Healing Hurts – Sometimes a Lot!
We have officially entered the Christmas season. A time when unfortunately we all seem to go somewhat “wacko” with all the stuff on our plates. So our pastor feels led to preach on being prepared for the season. Are our minds focused on what it should be focused on – i.e. Jesus?

Life usually doesn’t usually turn out like we see in the movies, does it? I’ve been remembering back to when we had our twin boys who were born by emergency C-section at 31 weeks. I had just started going in for weekly non-stress tests, and the physician on-call had trouble finding the twins’ heartbeats! Now … More Loving the Little Children…
