Happy Thanksgiving Dear Friends!! It’s been a busy season of cleaning, shopping and hosting the Thanksgiving meal. Tim graciously reminded me that the party was God’s idea. In the Old Testament, God commanded the Jews to celebrate many feasts in order to remember all God had done for them. So the Wrinkle’s followed suit, and celebrated in feast-like fashion thanking God for all He has done…
I’m guessing most of us just want to live peaceful, God-fearing lives. We don’t want to argue, fuss or fight. We want to go about our business speaking life and living out love. And if we’re honest, we’ll admit we’ve made Jesus a pretty neutered God. One that does a lot of loving and forgiving but not a lot of confronting or fighting.

This simple truth has biblical application. It has the ability to usher in clarity and…
…it should be to…Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. (Matt. 22:36) It sounded like such a simple command. But…how do you love God with your all your heart or mind?? I sat perplexed by that one verse. A verse I had read countless times before. But that day, almost ten years ago, I…
A friend shared the article below with me this morning. Tears welled in my eyes and I was brought to my knees in my spirit. I hope you will take the time to read it. It is well worth it. God reminded me what he can do with just “one” person who will say “yes” to Him. Forgive me Lord for not trusting you with just “one”. Teach me to BE the “one”.
