“Tears are falling, hearts are breaking How we need to hear from God You’ve been promised, we’ve been waiting Welcome Holy Child” Malachi is the last book of the Old Testament.

“They say ‘Peace, peace, but there is no peace.” Jeremiah 6:14 is on to something with this line. Although the context of this verse is rooted in a serious time in Israel’s history, many of us cannot help but hear this mantra in our heads as we scurry around the entire month of December. I…

Written by Grace Gouletas Many have heard the stories and statistics of how infants who are not given enough human touch grow up to have social, emotional, and behavioral problems when they grow up. We know that children need to feel loved; we know that we need to feel loved. People have a way of…
Written by Grace Gouletas In Romans 12: 6-7 Paul says, “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching.” God has given many gifts to His people, and teaching is…

Written by Valerie Cleveland Ditch the cell phone on the nightstand Some argue the first few minutes are key for setting the tone of the entire day. So, ditch the easily-accessible cell phone, move it to a dresser or other spot in the bedroom, and use that space on the nightstand for your…

Written by Lynn Marcoux While cities go silent, nature buzzes on. As we practice social distancing, nature didn’t get the memo. Tulips are popping up. Spring has arrived. Hummingbirds made it back to Bay County. Frogs are calling, birds are singing and tails are still wagging. I’ve always been a lover of God’s creation. …
Written by Grace Welch “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways! ‘For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor? Or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid?’ For…
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
