I don’t know how we’d make it in this world without the internet. I just love searching and finding wonderful ideas to use that will make a lasting and eternal impact on the teens I work with……….. well, I just hope that they make at least enough of an impact on them that they remain awake, and maybe take home one important truth from what
Have you ever wondered if you’ll ever have the time or talent to take amazing pictures for your blog posts? I’ve often wished I had the time, but if that wish came true, and I found the time, the talent would be a problem. I am not a gifted photographer. Be sure to bookmark this post, as I will continue to add websites as I find
One of my favorite summer traditions is making (and eating) homemade ice cream. Homemade ice cream is always great for family get-togethers; and who doesn’t love Ice Cream Socials with your church family? The first time I had Homemade Butterfinger Ice Cream was at a church Ice Cream Social many years ago. There are many many recipes for homemade ice cream. I am going to
I just love any movie with Jack Nicholson! The Bucket List was no exception. I could however, do without the language….

Being the media person at church, I am always glad to find websites with awesome media backgrounds! I’m certain that if the churches of days gone by would have had media, Ma Ingalls would have been the media woman (like I am), and she would have needed these websites to help her plan and present beautiful media presentations on Sunday mornings. The software that I
One of the things that really aggravates me is Cultural-Christianity, or Near-Christianity. This kind of Christianity has given up conservative views and is adapting to the culture. I read a very good article about this subject in The Baptist Messenger called True Christianity by Dr. Anthony L. Jordan. As the article states, this “liberal mainline Christianity stands for nothing, and thus, offers nothing”. This kind of Christianity
Nearly one-half of all young people raised in Christian families walk away from their faith when they graduate high school. My family and I attend church nearly every time the doors are opened. We are very involved in our church. Church is our 2nd home. My husband is a deacon I am the church secretary We are youth workers Our son is in the youth
In Episode 1 of AD: The Bible Continues this was one of the most touching scenes for me. It was when Pilate said “This man is innocent” and the crowd started yelling “CRUCIFY!” Equally as sad is the scene where Peter denies Jesus for the 3rd time and looks up and sees Jesus sad eyes.
