The Measure of a Year
A huge storm hit home this week. Not only did Tropical Storm Debby reek havoc on our city, a storm of a different nature has also been blowing, wildly through my heart. This week we received news that close pastor friends of ours from Guanito, Cuba, Pastor Alexei and Pastora Iliancie, brought into the world, their first child. Much like the waters from the storm surged in to flood our streets, emotions of a year since my trip to Cuba have surged and seized my heart.
Stop Hunger Now
It was like a perfectly orchestrated symphony of human effort striving toward a goal that was larger than life.
Serve One Another
Even those with the least of worldly possessions can have a dramatic and positive impact on the life of someone else. When we walk this earth with a single purpose at our core, to serve on another, our words and actions can reach far beyond our small circle of influence, allowing the love of God to be seen, felt, and heard.

An Angel Among Us
Allaine was soft spoken, gentle, kind, and always willing to help. She had a sparkle in her eyes that is difficult to describe, and whenever I needed advice or clarification, she was the one that I could trust to hold me accountable to the most righteous path. She was the person in my life that inspired me to seek wisdom.
The Christmas Prayer Wall on facebook
The Christmas Prayer Wall is place to come together in community to offer prayers for those who can not be with us during the holidays. There are many reasons for separation from our loved ones, military service, death, prolonged absence due to work or mission, but all feel the same sense of sadness when we can not be… together for the holidays as we once were.

The World Collage – A New Understanding of Community
What was once just a big blue marble, is now, in my mind, a World Collage…a smattering of this and that from across the globe, that is, in every sense of the word, my community. I have chatted online with them, I have prayed with them, and I have even taken a walk down their street in Google® street view maps. Oh how the world has changed!
