As we round the corner for home on this wild and crazy year, I want to encourage you to stay the course.

While We Wait
I recently heard someone talking about the Advent season as one where the world is waiting in darkness. Waiting – yet another day and another night. Waiting – with simultaneous hope and grief.

Invited
Our family was one of the many who made it a tradition to park ourselves in front of the TV, with a TV dinner, on a TV tray and soak in every second of network television’s annual airing of allll the Christmas specials. Rudolph, Santa Clause is Coming to Town, and The Grinch just to …

Focus
One of the wonderful things about serving with a ministry is the invitation to participate in worship services in the middle of the week. A couple of days ago I joined our staff family in the main sanctuary and was singing along in worship when I practically heard the Lord clear His throat and ask …
Communication
Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you.Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.~Anonymous This quote reminds me of the special place we have as Assistants. Communication is a two-way street. Sending information out to others has to be done in such a way that it …
