Prayer Reboot

Are you stuck with the feeling that your prayer life is stale, in need of a refresher? Sometimes we get so comfortable with routine that what we do out of habit begins to lose its impact.

What Are You Hoping For?

Christmas is coming! What’s on your wish list?

Sene-what??

One of our rhododendrons was looking quite sad a few weeks ago. These bushes are classified as evergreens, but those leaves are not green! What’s going on??

Great Expectations, and a Promise!

If I didn’t know better, I’d think my forsythia was doomed to die soon! The leaves are going dark and falling to the ground. The cold, dark winter lies before us.

Jesus came to be the Light of the world, and then He told his followers that they, too, were the light of the world. If you are a follower of Christ, let his message richly fill your life, and shine brightly for the world to see!

Great Expectation #4

These deep burgundy leaves won’t be long on the forsythia. They’ll soon be finding their way to the ground below as autumn sunlight hours give way to winter.

Just as we know what to expect from the deciduous trees and shrubs around us as the season draws to a close, so we should know what to expect from ourselves and other followers of Christ!
