Hi Ya’ll! We’ve been very busy but today I want to talk about being BOLD. BOLD means being confident or out there. Jesus is BOLD in the Bible He is unashamed and unafraid to tell people who HE IS! 04/02/2025 09:05 AM
Time for some financial spring cleaning
Time for some financial spring cleaning
Spring is here — which means it’s once again time to wash the windows, organize your cabinets and steam your carpets. This year, in addition to tidying up around your house, why not also consider some financial spring cleaning? 04/02/2025 09:05 AM
Hugs on the Street
Hugs on the Street
Sometimes, street ministry doesn’t come dressed in tidy church clothes. Sometimes, it wears worn-out shoes, paces in the middle of the road, or curls up with knees tucked under its chin. And sometimes, ministry smells like street dust and hugs like heaven. 04/02/2025 09:05 AM

The 24-hour news cycle started in the early 1990’s during the Gulf War. The world (me, especially) were glued to their television sets viewing live 24-hour news coverage. Gone were the days of the 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. evening news. Watching what was transpiring halfway around the world, I quickly became impressed with the bravery of war correspondents putting their lives on the line to report the war.

That evening, I drove to the streets, hoping to enjoy the company of someone who could use interaction, and I found myself drawn to this one guy. He skirted in front of a business, and once past the door, he glanced back over his shoulder, shuffling his feet. He moved ahead, picked up the pace, and crossed the parking lot. 03/26/2025 09:03 AM
Luck of the Irish
Luck of the Irish
Recently, we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day (also known as “Saint Paddy’s Day”). I’m reminded of my Irish roots. With a maiden name of Ferrell and Ferguson on my mother’s side of the family, there is a lot of Irish blood running through my veins. Plus, I remember my dad’s gorgeous auburn hair when he was younger. Even today I’m still looking for my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (if I’m lucky enough). Well, here’s my question … is there such a thing as luck? 03/26/2025 09:03 AM
