The Psalms Giving Thanks in the most poetic way King David made giving thanks to God into an art. The Psalms are some of the most beautiful poetry ever written. They include cries for help, adoration, and of course thanksgiving. This week I wanted to share some wisdom from a great book I’ve been reading,
Thanksgiving. An expression of Gratitude to the Lord. As we continue our series of Thanksgiving throughout the month of November, I would be remiss if I did not mention the book of Leviticus.

Our Pastor is in the middle of a series called, “What is your Mission?” He’s teaching us about what the Bible and Jesus said about the Great Commision. Matthew 28:19-20 states, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Back in the Routine A daily walk with Christ Happy Autumn Readers! I’m back! I hope your September was a peaceful one. Mine raced by, but I got some much needed down time for studying, praying, and practicing new habits. I learned in August, while planning our Ladies Gathering event at our church, that I

C. S. Lewis once said, “The world does not need more Christian literature. What it needs is more Christians writing good literature.” I don’t think I’ve been writing too well lately. Do you ever feel like you just need a reset? I’m feeling a bit inadequate and uninspired in my writing lately. I want nothing
