The following prayer was part of some Bible study material when I was co-leading a class with Pastor Bruick during my DCE practicum at St. John in Seward, NE. Every time I stumble upon it again, I love it even more. 🙂 "Lord, this kind of command ought to be the easiest to obey. Yet… Continue reading The Most Difficult Command

To GIVE thanks
I've been thinking about the phrase "give thanks" a lot recently. We hear it all over the place, especially in this Thanksgiving/Christmas time of year.

The Presence of God
As I was hanging out with Jesus this morning, I was reminded of our current Advent/Christmas sermon theme at First Trinity: "The Presence of God".

Since I… Continue reading Longer Than the Road I Travel (Part 1)

Sometimes I get pretty discouraged by the world I see around me. I try to read and/or watch the news in order to… Continue reading Higher than This Worldly Place

Books!
I just wanted to share a link to something that made me smile. I would venture to bet that it's impossible for you to look through the pictures in this post and not smile as well. When my friend, Jessica, and I went to Africa two summers ago one of our favorite afternoon activities was… Continue reading Books!
“Doing” Life Together
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. (Romans 12:15 NIV) I love opportunities to 'do life' together with other women. Tonight I am especially thankful for my lifegroup and the ways in which we are able to live out Romans 12:15 in both big and small ways. Tonight alone we rejoiced in… Continue reading “Doing” Life Together
