• Answered Prayers

  Yesterday morning after I was dressed and ready for church I finally looked at my phone. Every other Sunday throughout the year we get my niece, but she has had multiple reasons to not come with either me or my parents to church. Her father was raised in church. He now seems to think Sunday…

• Tea Time

  Finally after holding on to it for a couple of weeks; I tried it. Sunday morning two weeks ago I was able to give a friend her Christmas Card and then when I got to church that night I got this gift from her that evening along with some other ladies. Have you tried Chai…

• 1924

  There are so many photos taken that I nearly don’t need words. If a photo is literally worth a 1000 words these photos should speak for themselves right? This little guy looks pretty happy doesn’t he? He was an only child at this point. Bill and Mary, his parents lived in Carlisle and went to…

• Day 15 Star of Wonder

  She most definitely delivered an uplifting lesson today. How incredible to be the first human being that God sends His angel to after the 400 Silent Years? Instead though, Zechariah like Sara, back in Genesis at her old age didn’t know how to believe what was said. Why do we tend to see with our…

• Star of Wonder Day 13

  This morning being able to read this first thing, was such a refresher to my soul. This is the final day of the Prophecy Chapters. What do you know about this man and his big important sounding name? Honestly this story seemed lost to me on the major details. I have heard of the name…

• December 10th

  Isn’t it funny when Facebook shows you a post you have pretty much forgotten? All of a sudden I noticed this notification when it said her name it took me back a bit. We exchanged a lot of texts and some posts on Facebook, but this one seemed unfamiliar to me. I remember that cross-stitch…

• After Service Thoughts

  The first Sunday of December and it was Communion Day. For once even by myself I got some Christmas Cards passed out today. This has never happened before. Doing them this way feels different, but I still love making them and passing them out to friends and family. During the congregational singing memories flooded my…

• Nostalgia & Christmas Music: Ms. Becky

  There are songs that stick in your memory. For some reason I had always thought of this song as a somewhat sad-sounding sound for Christmas. Of course it comes from the Peanuts cartoon. Becky had a lot of titles at church. Not to mention owning the Dairy Queen with her husband in their town. She…

• Introspection

  Time for inspecting one’s heart and mind is necessary. Today I had some alone time which doesn’t happen very often. Not sleeping very well may have also added to my unfortunate awkwardness and exhaustion. The other slice of today is the question of am I doing what I am supposed to be? Frustration seems to…

• Time To Heal

  When I first left Fellowship Grandpa Freddy had been gone for two years. No matter where I went in the Church I could see him and tears would consume me for no other reason but the fact I was still mourning. It would take years maybe even an entire decade for me to stop getting…
