For years a group of my friends have joked that we were going to set up a commune and all live together in our own private community. We figured between all of us, we each had skills that could get us through life without relying on anyone else. As I read the tragic story of … [Read more…]
Have you wrapped everything yet? Need some gift tags for a little extra flare? I love DIY crafting at home and I love it when I have time to sit and create something out of nothing. But I, like you, don’t always have that fleeting luxury of time to sit! That’s why I get so … [Read more…]
One of my favorite Christmas songs is “Let There Be Light” by Point of Grace. What a beautiful analogy to liken Jesus’ coming as the Light of the world with God’s initial creation of light–I just love that!

I am a member of Long Hollow Springfield – a satellite campus located in Springfield, Tennessee. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the whole process from the beginning. I attended meetings when it was just a dream and have gotten to watch the dream become a reality. Through it all, being located … [Read more…]
Sometimes, when I am going through a particularly rough time, I find myself less and less committed to spiritual disciplines. My quiet times diminish, my prayer life becomes rushed and shallow, and I fill free time with mindless distractions, instead of more time with the Lord. It is usually when I am tired; bone tired … [Read more…]
25. Have you ever thought about the significance of this number? The first thing that comes to mind for me is Christmas– the 25th day of December, set aside for celebration of our Savior’s birth, giving to the one’s we love, and receiving the fullness of that joyful day!

“And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.” Acts 2:2 On the final evening of our time in Haiti we experienced what would be recognized as an unusual weather event.
