When our daughter was a little girl, she would stand on the shore and wait for wave of seawater to wash over her feet and then quickly retrieve back out to sea. This was her idea of playing in the ocean. Anything over her toes was too deep and too terrifying. One day, her dad … [Read more…]
Wrecked is a word we’ve been hearing around Long Hollow and will continue to hear in the days ahead. What does that even mean? I vividly remember being “wrecked” on my first visit to Haiti.

Yet in the midst of all the … [Read more…]
My husband, Dee and I, have spent the past week on the quaint little island of St. George – south of Panama City out in the Gulf. It’s a quiet place to go, especially after Labor day, and has been one of our favorite vacation spots since our children were small. I had great plans … [Read more…]
2 Corinthians 4:5-6: “For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

Every year when December rolls around, hundreds of volunteers at Long Hollow (students, men & women) join together as the body of Christ to serve the single moms in our church and community!
