Justice. There is something deep inside of each of us that cries out for it. Especially in how people treat us. Someone talks about us behind our backs and we want justice. Someone is rude, or even mean to us, and we want justice. Someone treats us unfairly and we want justice. We rise up […]
Seeking Him
There was once a boy, his name was Samuel, and he loved God. Samuel is a rather iconic figure in the Old Testament. He anointed first Saul, then David as Kings of Israel. Before that he served God faithfully as both Priest and Judge. Even the very beginning of his story is remarkable, as we […]

Finding a Home: A Guide To Finding A Church, And Then Actually Being In A Church.

Love One Another: A Walk Through John 13 for Passover
It’s Good Friday, the night we recognize the Passover meal that was Christ’s Last Supper. His last evening with His disciples and His crucifixion.

Spring!
Spring! A Poem By Joy Aletheia Stevens For Easter ~ Raindrops falling on windows, Watering the thirsty ground, Always sinking down to the lows, Flowing and making musical sounds. ~ Smells of wet and clean and fresh, And smells of morning dew, Waking flowers into a morning stretch, As the sunshine looks down on you.
