By Jennifer Markham Almost two years ago my husband and I began our journey to adopt a special needs child from China. Our first step was to complete something known as the “medical checklist.” This form consists of all the possible struggles and medical problems your child might have and you must select all the…
Beth Biggers My grandfather learned to swim in the Mississippi River. I say “learned,” but what I mean by that is two of his older brothers threw him off of a bridge. He didn’t have a choice. It was sink or swim. Literally do or die. I believe that God is a good God. He…
by Desiree Taylor I love to pray! I have learned over the years the importance of developing a prayer life. We have this amazing privilege to be able to talk to God in the name of Jesus Christ! It is such a gift! One of my favorite verses is James 5:16 which says “Confess your…
“How do you get to Heaven?” Step one in my new Sunday school class. Figure out the gospel. My husband was across the hall doing the same thing with the youth. “Well, you have to be good.” “You need to obey God.” “You go to church and read your Bible.” My kids are in that…

Lately, I feel the Lord is prompting me to spend more time in prayer. I pray daily, but I don’t usually carve out a specific time to pray over the people in my life. It’s time to not only pray in general, but to make my prayer time more specific and dedicated. I need to…
I started a garden this year, because my friend Beth said I should. I was a little bit worried that I would just kill everything and waste my time (which is still a distinct possibility), but she believed in me and so I did it. Sweat poured as I dug up the ground, mud splattered…
This week I was reading John 4:10. Jesus had gone to Samaria and was sitting to rest by the well. A Samarian woman had come to the well to get water. In that culture, Jews didn’t talk to Samaritans. Jesus asked her for a drink. She was intrigued that this Jewish man would talk to…
