Diving in the Dumpster…

September is here and though it is still summer I can feel fall coming just around the corner.  Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love looking forward to the holidays and then there is football, oh wait, I forget sometimes we no longer have a team.  So then hockey will be starting … [Read more…]

Real Riches

Can you hear that?  It’s the sound of the school buses starting and the other sound you may hear is the groans of the children as this month many will return to the joy of what we parents like to call “school”. Every August we repeat this pattern until the last child we call ours … [Read more…]

Bring on the fireworks!

Dear Saints.     Happy birthday USA!  To celebrate we will do something different this year, we will celebrate the birth of this nation with fireworks!  Wait a second, we do that every year- celebrate the birth of this nation with something that is so Chinese, after all the Chinese were the ones who created … [Read more…]

God Gives Detours…

Dear Saints. June is now here.  Can you hear the song of the air conditioners as they hum during the days and nights?  Theirs is truly a song that doesn’t end until the fall.  June is the month we say good-bye to the spring, (which this year was I believe only a couple days) and … [Read more…]

Who knew the dentist could be this fun???

A glimpse of Jesus…

May is here and I am looking for all the flowers.  As the saying goes April showers bring May flowers.  After the storms that happen in life I am always looking for the flowers.

Letting go of the remote…

April started out with a bang!  I mean when the first day of the month lands on Easter or Resurrection Day it can’t get any better than that!  Even though traditionally it was April Fool’s day as well, the only fool was death.  Satan thought he had won and death had defeated life on the … [Read more…]

Jesus at the airport…

April is here and with it the hope of resurrection rises in our hearts and over the entire city as the trees begin to bloom and the flowers start popping through the ground waking up from a cold, long, hard winter.  The signs of life are all around us during this time of the year! … [Read more…]

Reaching out to our world…

May is here!  This month we will celebrate our anniversary as a church family in the city.  Many have come and gone but the vision and the one who called us stays constant.  And so onward we will march to the beat of the one who died to save us and lives today!  This month … [Read more…]
