Step in and enjoy a cup of cyber tea as you explore. And please “pardon our dust” as we continue construction. Check back often to see the changes.

JUNE - YEA for Dads ! Happy Father's Day

STOW GOD'S WORD: Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. (Proverbs 17:6 KJV) And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossions 3:17 NIV)

GO LIVE GOD'S WORD

VALUE what your father and your Father value, and thus honor them. Wash dad's car; be kind to his wife; throw a BBQ and you cook instead of him. CARE for God's creation: conserve, recycle. And reach out to widows and orphans. (If you don't know where to do so, check below.) And please--PRAY for the children accused of being witches and tortured in Kinshasa, Congo.

Some excellent organizations: www.worldhelp.net, www.heifer.org, www.feedthechildren.org, www.samaritanspurse.org, www.crystalpeaksyouthranch.org, www.mustardseedproject.org, www.ndvh.org (The National Domestic Violence Hotline, they can give you local resources if you prefer to help or donate locally.) These are just a few direct service agencies that profoundly help the most vulnerable.

HAPPY 96th BIRTHDAY, DAD !!

I've gone to celebrate with my father. Back soon.

APRIL - SHOWERS AND TAXES AND...

STOW GOD'S WORD:

And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's... Mark 12:17 (KJV)

GO LIVE GOD'S WORD:

Pay your debts. Yes, taxes, but so much more. 1. Say thank you, and send a personal thanks to someone who's given their time, encouragement, energy, or finances to you. 2. Cultivate an attitude of gratefulness for our country. The United States offers security and blessing beyond those millions face daily. We have many areas that could be improved but we have a lot that is right. Learn something new by reading about our country's history and founding fathers (and mothers). Then read about ideas to improve an area that needs attention. Be part of the solution. 3. Celebrate the coming spring. Fly a kite, blow bubbles with a child, go fishing, or just watch clouds skitter before the wind.

MARCH ...into your future with rejoicing.

STOW GOD"S WORD:

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again. Rejoice! (Philippians 4:4 NIV) The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain, they shout for joy and sing. (Psalm 65:13 NIV)

GO LIVE GOD'S WORD:

1. Before touching your feet to the floor in the morning, SMILE and shout out 3 things you are grateful for. 2. Then like a five-year-old greeting the first day of summer, fling your legs over the bedside and meet the day with exuberance. 3. Fly into a new pursuit like a kite driven by spring winds. 4. Take a walk; listen to the birds sing their praise.
