Learn From Your Children
There are many times when I have heard wisdom from a child. I really believe children display insight because their eyes have yet to be tainted by the world. In essence, they are the true nonconformists. Read More...
Love Does Not Envy, It Does Not Boast
Do you ever have problems with what people call the “green-eyed monster”? I know I do. It is hard not to with all of the advertisements out there telling you how much “happier” you would be if you had this or that. Or how about when you are going through a trial and someone you know seems to be just having a grand life? Read More ...
Attitude Is Everything
I have been teaching my kids this lesson for the past few weeks because I have realized how easy our attitudes can ruin our whole day. I do not enjoy having a bad attitude, and I really do not enjoy when the kids are having bad attitudes. Therefore, the kids and I have really been trying to work on our attitudes lately, so this topic has stuck in my head. Read More...
Wait For The Lord
The story was about Meriam Ibrahim. I am sure many people have heard about her, but for those who have not, I will briefly share her story. She is a 26-year-old married woman who happens to be eight months pregnant and has a twenty-month-old son. She is being held in prison in Sudan because she is unwilling to recant her Christianity.

Don't Worry - Count!
For months, I have been working on overcoming a bad habit. My bad habit is dwelling on things that are not working out the way I hoped. I have realized that my dwelling turns into a perfect “magnifying glass” that makes the problems a lot larger than they really are, and keeps me from noticing the blessings in my life. Read More...
Rest and Enjoy Your Blessings!
I have heard that some people are afraid to rest. At first I was surprised until I evaluated my own life, and then the statement actually made a lot of sense. Today, with the desire to get ahead and be successful by the world’s definition, we have become programmed to not rest. Read More...
Worry Is A Pain In The Gut
I have heard that there are just as many neurons in our stomach as in our brain. In fact, scientists call the stomach the second brain. Read More...
Happy Mother's Day
I am blessed to be a mom to two wonderful children. I have definitely learned a lot from my children especially a gratefulness for how patient my mom must have been when I was a child. Read More...
Do Not Fear Stepping Out of the Box
I think all major inventions and successes have been from people who thought outside the box. They ventured to go “where no other man has gone before” (sorry, had to put that in there). But all clichés aside, in order to achieve a goal we will eventually have to step out of our comfort zones. Read More ...
Love Beyond Comprehension
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). I have heard this scripture many times in my life, but today it hit me in a much deeper way. Read More...
A Closer Walk
Grant me Father to walk close with Thee
Help me look at myself and my own sins to see
Let me walk with you hand and hand throughout my life
And find in you… Life wonderful delights
Pray Without Ceasing
First Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to “pray without ceasing.” I have to say that through my life,no matter how frustrated I get, I try not to stop praying. I may not pray all the time on my knees, but I am in constant conversation with the Father. I talk to Him when I get up, when schooling isn’t going quite the way I want it to, when I am confused, which unfortunately happens a lot, when I am happy, etc… I am constantly talking to God.

Seven Irritating Things About "Noah"
I went to see the movie “Noah” last Friday. I have always liked the history of Noah and the ark. The true meaning is one that a Christian can identify with because we are in many ways like Noah. I have a Tom Dubois print of Noah’s Ark called “Celebration” hanging in my office. I chose this particular painting specifically because I wanted a realistic depiction of Noah’s Ark. I was tired of all the pictures that portrayed the event as a nursery school story or some type of fairytale. So it may be obvious why I would not like this movie.

The Pastors of the Burlington, Ontario congregation are making a year long commitment to have monthly Bible studies that will be announced in three month increments. Each study will challenge beliefs taken for granted by the Christian wold and will be led by a CGI minister, beginning with Adrian Davis on March 22, 2014.
Is Homosexuality Compatible With Christianity?
Many people are talking about the news that Phil Robertson was discriminated against by A&E in suspending him from the television show “Duck Dynasty” based on his religious views that homosexuality is a sin. A&E stated, “His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong
