That Powerful Moment in A Charlie Brown Christmas: Just Drop the Blanket

December 6, 2016 by Debbie 10 Comments

(A Guest Post by Jason Soroski) This week A Charlie Brown Christmas aired on national prime time television for the 55th time. In a world where the latest greatest technology is outdated in a matter of months, and social media trends come and go in a matter of days, 55 years of anything becomes quite meaningful. I am a fan of all things nostalgic and all things Christmas, and so when the two are … [Read more...] about That Powerful Moment in A Charlie Brown Christmas: Just Drop the Blanket

A Veteran’s Day Prayer: For Those Who Protect Our Nation

November 11, 2016 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Freedom is powerful. It's a gift. A treasure. The most significant, important gifts in life are always worth fighting for. And often, they come with a great price. They're not free. Somewhere along the way, someone paid dearly for the liberties we enjoy so freely today. But sometimes, we forget. It’s easy to take them for granted. We enjoy freedom, but most of us alive today, have always had … [Read more...] about A Veteran’s Day Prayer: For Those Who Protect Our Nation

November 4, 2016 by Debbie 12 Comments

We have so much to be grateful for in this life, each and every day. But reality is that sometimes constant life demands, struggles, and worries give more room to defeat than to a heart of thanks. Or we forget, in the midst of busyness and pressures, just to pause and give thanks, for all that God has done, and continues to do in our lives. Sometimes it really is a sacrifice to offer praise and … [Read more...] about The Power of a Grateful Heart: 21 Verses of Thanks to God

20 Verses of Rest and Peace for Your Summer

June 11, 2016 by Debbie 16 Comments

I love the months of summer and most times, am not ready for them to end. You may relate too. Time away with family and friends…laid back days…staying up late…catching up on things we’ve wanted to do all year…a much-needed break from the busy lives that we so often lead. But as much as we love the days of summer, fun vacations, and the times that rest and relaxation with those we love can bring, … [Read more...] about 20 Verses of Rest and Peace for Your Summer

Thoughts for When You Really Don’t Feel Like Going to Church

June 5, 2016 by Debbie 4 Comments

It was a Sunday morning a few years back. I had a headache. I really didn't feel like going to church that day. I thought of all the reasons it would have been nicer and more convenient to just stay home. I pressed through, got there, but not with a very "worshipful" attitude. Walked in late and took a seat towards the back. Took a deep breath, headache better, but heart far away. Distant.
