Making Excuses to God
The Pastor of my previous church called me. He and I had been close. I was the church secretary, and we spent a lot of time talking. He was there for me the beginning of my Christian life and got me going on the right path. He wanted to know if he could refer…

Walk on Water
“Jesus walked out on the water, said take courage, it is me. Peter trusted and he wanted to go further, so he stepped out on the sea. If I keep my eyes on Jesus, I can walk on water. Just like Peter I want to go further, tread on the sea and walk on…

Words
I’ve been thinking about the power of words. God used words to create the world, oceans, land, moon, sun, animals, fish, humans, everything. God could’ve used any method He wanted to create things.

My Love Letter to Jesus
Jesus: I love you like no other! I treasure Your creation. The sunset I’m watching across the frozen lake is so awesome. But it doesn’t even compare to You. You’ve done so many wonderful things for me. I will serve You with all of my days. You loved me when I felt I was unlovable. You…

Prodigal Daughter
My story is like the Prodigal Son’s story in Luke 15. I was raised Lutheran by a Christian family, and I loved Jesus. When I was 15 years old, I quit going to church. I wanted to follow my free will and have fun with my life. I got a job and requested to work Sunday mornings so…
