SUBMISSION
A child just turned a woman, became the chosen one, To hold the Son of God within – to be her firstborn Son, She wasn’t someone special – a lowly servant girl, But God had special plans for her and … Continue reading

A little house stands all alone, no people left inside, There once was life within that house and laughter did abide, The windows are now boarded up, the grass is overgrown, The roof is battered, walls need paint, some love needs … Continue reading
TAKE AND DRINK
The interlacing vines hold substantial fruit. It is a wonder the grapes cling so tightly to the vine. As Jesus told His followers, He is the vine and we are the branches. Today, let’s consider feeding the thirsty with the … Continue reading
DO WE REALLY CARE?
ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER We often ask, “How are you?” We may even sound sincere.The problem is our listening skills. We sometimes never hear.We’re so much in a hurry. We think we’re being nice,But if it … Continue reading
RETREAT
