My Church Community
Growing up I saw this community in action. My grandparents, on both sides of my family, were at the forefront of those activities. Seeing their example was the best thing for me and my siblings and cousins to watch through the years. The past couple of weeks have been a bit stressful. Too many things…

Sunday Thoughts…
Pastor’s Appreciation Month. Last Sunday we celebrated our Pastor with a pitch in dinner and his favorite hymn songs. That morning I officially broke out my clarinet for a song. It was a pretty awesome day. For the past two years I have needed and wanted to play my clarinet and do some different hymn…

A Prayer …Peace
My Heavenly Gracious Father, I Thank You for those you have put into my family! Looking over the photos of my Bishop family has been a wonderful time consuming labor of love. It’s funny how I can see now as an adult the various family members and how they look so similar to each other…

Caesar and Christ
Lately pundits on the Republican and Conservative side keep repeating this statistic. Multiple times on different shows the number 40% of Christians do not vote. Even Trump had the line in his speech at least once if not every ‘Trump Rally’ that is really a shocking rate. Growing up voting in my family and church…

My Surprise
This morning I got a phone call from Mom. She was on our way to my Uncle’s appointment at the hospital, but she decided to make one phone call in between. It kind of caught me off guard even though I knew she was wanting to make this phone call for a while. So when…

This morning I heard where Kamala would be hiding today. I have known for a few days about Israel’s Prime Minister giving a Speech to Congress. Her whereabouts I didn’t know would take her halfway across the country to here in my state, Indiana. In a way it’s kind of insulting. She needed some place…

Reminders of Proverbs
Earlier this year I wanted to do a Wednesday night look at Proverbs. The time I spent reviewing the book was exhilarating and necessary. It’s why we are taught in our churches to continually be reading in our Bibles little passages at a time. It’s easier to manage and may help to engage in your…

Caricature’s of Republicans
The Liberal press has been berating their opposition for years. It is no surprise that a New York magazine wrote a derogatory piece on Republican women. The question on the Cover was, “Are Republican Women okay?” The issue was written by Rebecca Traister. After listening to the Outnumbered session I was grateful to not have…

Sunday, Sunday
Thankfully, the Lord allowed me to return to Grandma’s Church a second time yesterday. I woke up feeling really pretty good for a change after sleeping in just a little bit. I hadn’t told Grandma of my plans and weren’t exactly sure how I would be feeling after everything this week. However, my medicines were…
