11 OLYMPIC CLASS ATTITUDES

I ONCE WAS LOST…

THE GIVING TREE: BARBARA MEYER’S STORY

By after Christmas, and with God’s grace, the boughs of the tree were hanging low under the weight of the bounty - a veritable menagerie of mittens, gloves, hats and scarves. This is a guest post by Barbara Meyer. Barbara is a Jazz vocalist & pianist with 25 years of international performing experience. Solo, duo, trio, big band, orchestra soloist. She is a school…

AWAKEN TO WHAT GOD IS UP TO

Where do sunrises fit on your scale of enjoyment? Some of the most searched images in Google are for "sunrise."

Don't miss out...Romans 13:11 alarms, “Be up and AWAKE to what God is doing.” What Is God Up To? 1. He is working on who you are. Your identity plays a pivotal role in how you deal with life.
