  • "Easter Brings Hope"

    Trisston Burrows|Apr 1, 2014

    Easter is not about brightly colored eggs, wearing pastels, or enjoying a big meal. Although, Easter festivities do include these. Easter is about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For some, Easter will be a great day, spent surrounded by family and friends. But for others, it will be a sad day, because Easter is a reminder of a loved one who has died and is now desperately missed. Death seems so cruel, so harsh, and so final. That is what the disciples were feeling when they saw...

  • "Be Mine"

    Every year, thousands of heartfelt messages are inscribed upon the most beautifully decorated Valentine’s Day cards. At any drug store, you’ll find them neatly displayed on the greeting card isle in every conceivable category. They come in all shapes and sizes.

After all, it is that time of year. It’s the meaning of the season. Right? Yet, the very first Christmas seemed to do without all of these. The very first Christmas somehow started a frenzy w...

    Year after year, the earth’s inhabitants are fed, watered, clothed, and sheltered. Generations come and go, nations rise and fall, yet God continues to live and keep this old world turning and the sun shining day after day. James 1:17 reminds us, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father, with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning.” This Thanksgiving season, let’s recognize the God from whom ALL blessings flow…either directly or indirectl...

    As many of you know, my Dad recently passed away. On behalf of my family and myself, I would like to express heartfelt appreciate to family and friends for the phone calls, text messages, cards, visits, flowers, food, and wonderful acts of kindness during this difficult time. We appreciate your love and support. Each and every one of you are very special to us. Many of you who knew my Dad may remember his love of music. One of his favorite songs to sing was “Consider the Lilies”. I share the wor...
