Blog Series: The New Normal With COVID19. Day 4 of “Social Distancing”
I have to admit, this has been the longest 4 days of my life in awhile. I still am heading into work – as there are only two of us in the office – the Pastor and me (administrative assistant).

How to earn Jesus’s Love….
As I get older, I find more and more throughout my life, that there are people who feel like they have to do certain things or take steps in life to earn their place or others’ love… I get uncomfortable especially when I listen to people talking about how they have to earn the loveContinue reading “How to earn Jesus’s Love….”

Life on Pause: You are in the right place at this moment.
A close friend told me something the other day that I have heard before – and sometimes believe myself – “You are right where you need to be at the present time.” As humans, we experience a multitude of life changes throughout our lives… They begin the moment we let out our first cry intoContinue reading “Life on Pause: You are in the right place at this moment.”
Life on Pause:Religion: Christianity & spirtuality …confusion in my life
Religion seems to be such a large part of who we are in life… It is a tradition passed on to us through our family and something we grow up learning about. We attend church services based on what religion we identify with. And if we are lucky, we continue following in those same footsteps,Continue reading “Life on Pause:Religion: Christianity & spirtuality …confusion in my life”
