Praises of a Wife and Mommy

What should the pastors do when Covid-19 shuts down the church building?   Well we made a tent in the middle of the sanctuary and watched inside with comfy pillows and blankets.   It was more like the balloon said, "Party."   We turned lemons into lemonade!  While my husband was not used to preaching to a quiet room we still provided distractions having the tent in the middle of the room.  

My church, We have been pastoring for five years in a small town and small church.  However a new wave of excitement is hitting us.  A new expectation and experience for people.  God’s love is all around and we are so blessed to have him use us in our small town.

Please take some time to listen to it and learn a little bit more about honor and how you can apply it to home, work, and well EVERYWHERE.

Proverbs 3:18 I have the pleasure to review and do a giveaway with Comfort Crosses.  When I opened up the nice red velvet bag I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the cross.  I had pictured a much smaller cross but this was a nice good size.  It can easily be held and carried in a purse or bag without getting lost.   Immediately I started thinking about who I could bless with this beautiful cross.  There were so many faces that went through my head.  The cross is a nice gift for celebrations or a gift to cheer up and give someone hope.   Then my mind starting racing with ideas of  fundraising .  Do you have a youth group looking to do a  fundraiser ?   What a need wait to get support while supporting other Christians in Bethlehem.  :)  They also do a great deal for  fundraising , buy 50 crosses for ...
