Being on online ministry means that we spend an inordinate amount of time exploring the web. While we’re there, we come across loads of great stuff, so we thought we’d share what we’ve been finding lately in blogland. There’s enough here to make you think, make you take action and make you make a difference. [...]

Lessons from the Bike Trail
Posted April 12th, 2010 @ 10:00 pm by | | PrintFiled Under Food for Thought
I am a big bicyclist. I meet with a Women’s Bike Club on Monday nights. They are really awesome women but most are lesbian, bi-sexual and non churched. They are active, but do not love the things of God. It is a great opportunity for me to learn from them. Our [...]

It all started with Forrest Gump. I love his quote about life. “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know which one you’re going to get.” Then I remembered a Donut Man song that we listened to when my kids were small. “Life without Jesus is like a donut because there’s a hole [...]

Nicodemus was a Pharisee.
His whole life had been committed to keeping what the Jews called “God’s law.” Truth was that the Pharisees knew they couldn’t keep God’s law. They made up their own set of laws that were easier to follow. Their laws became deeply ingrained traditions, and though the burden was heavy, it [...]

Looking for Jesus in all the Wrong Faces
Posted November 2nd, 2009 @ 11:16 am by | | PrintFiled Under Food for Thought
I saw Jesus in Nicaragua. I handed him the plate of leftovers I could barely stomach . He nodded shyly, smiled and gladly cleaned the plate.
I saw Him again just the other day. He looked a lot like a young woman standing by the side of the road with a cardboard sign in her hands.
He [...]

Yes, ministry is serious business.
Yes, it’s hard work.
Yes, we’re about life and death, eternity and purpose and the salvation of souls.
But do you ever ask yourself in the midst of ministry and life, “Are we having fun yet?” Can ministry be fun? We vote a resounding, “Yes!” and even believe that fun is effective.
These two [...]

Bald and the Bible
Posted September 28th, 2009 @ 5:00 am by | | PrintFiled Under Bible Studies, Food for Thought
Just had to share this… My husband is retired military in his second career as a teacher. He is 6’ tall, bald, tattooed and teaches first grade! Recently “David,” who was filling in for the janitor, approached him and wanted to talk.
My husband, Jon, is very open about his faith and loves to share about [...]

Got to Love this Lady!
Posted September 25th, 2009 @ 7:27 am by | | PrintFiled Under Food for Thought
Ministry requires spunk. On occasion, women’s ministry demands a double-dose. Just wondering, do you ever feel like this…?
Too tired to cross the street…
Can’t get a moments rest because someone is in a hurry or has a horn to toot…
The only thing that helps is to let go of some hot air and keep on walking…
If [...]

Looking into their Eyes
Posted September 23rd, 2009 @ 12:15 am by | | PrintFiled Under Food for Thought
Compassion was a distinguishing mark of Jesus’ ministry. This would have been a significant diversion from the religious leaders of the day who were more concerned about minding their Pharisaic p’s and q’s than they were with hungry masses, wayward women or the blind, lame, leprous and poor among them. To the Pharisess, Saducees, teachers [...]

God of this City: The Story Behind the Song
Posted September 18th, 2009 @ 12:47 am by | | PrintFiled Under Food for Thought
You’ve probably heard the story behind the favored old hymn, It is Well. Horatio Spafford’s lyrics inspire us still because they are part of a larger story. Knowing the bigger story gives context and new meaning.
The song God of this City took up a place in my soul the very first time I heard it. [...]
