Mugs & Muffins - it's a ladies outreach event we put on annually where you bring your own mug and $5 at the door and we fill your cup with coffee and provide lots of muffins. If you're looking for a simple women's event this is the way to go. This year I was so blessed to work with the Mom's In Prayer group that I pray with weekly. They joined our church in planning ...

Signs of a bad week
You know it's been a bad week when...... You call your child a butt and then realize he's most likely going to go to school and tell all his teachers and friends that his Mom called him a butt. Then they won't believe him and he'll keep arguing until he gets a detention. I should write a book called, "If you call your child a butt he'll ask for prayer at school." And by the ... Read More »
3 gifts that can change the course of your child’s school year.
A lot of schools start up today in our area and possibly in yours too. We all remember those first day jitters and excitement. New backpacks, new school clothes and the smell of freshly sharpened pencils accompany little feet walking into hallways. Soon enough though the newness wears off and the pressures of school work, mean kids and peer pressure can take its toll on our ... Read More »
“One Anothering” One Another
Randy has been talking about the "one another's" in scripture lately and how as followers of Christ we are to love another, bear one another's burdens and serve one another. So much scripture in the Bible tells us how to interact with one another. And when we actually do it we're forming community and not only a safe place to be but a desirable place to be. It doesn't mean it ... Read More »

I wasn't familiar with this app so I was playing around with it trying to figure out how to follow and watch her daily 2pm coffee chats. Well somehow - I swear I don't know how ... Read More »
My mouth got me in trouble at the car dealership
So my van, AKA "the gold bomb", has about exploded for the final time sending us into an avid auto search for the last few months. When the lining of the roof starts hanging lower than the seats you know you need to upgrade. And we're just not even going to talk about the hint of painted letters "Community Cares" that still linger on the windows even after multiple scrub ... Read More »
Ministry Happenings
It's the beginning of school and a million things are going on. I'm finding myself busier than ever but still making time to sit on the front porch, visit with neighbors and have my quiet time. Not something I was doing BBLC - "Before the Broken Leg Chronicles". Somehow it's all working out as I let go of my agenda. God knows my heart and is helping me be still in the midst of ...

Meditation doesn’t have to be weird
Yes, that is my daughter and she's such a poser. Occasionally she whips out a meditation pose complete with a mesmerizing "Ahhhmmmmmmm" for pure entertainment. I admit that it gets a laugh of out me just about every time. We can thank big brother's influence for this trick. I was shopping at ... Read More »
