Life as a Thank you – 5
RAY L There are some events and people who change the course of one’s life. You are one of those people in my life! This year I made a commitment to grow my gratitude quotient by writing a thank you note each week to someone. In light of your birthday, I thought I would send…
Baby Steps to the Throne
Today I am pondering the idea that I am not even thirsty, even when I have not had anything to drink. I stand in the worship center on a Sunday morning and I hear the singing of favorite songs. I glance around the room and it seems that I am the only one who does…

G. GERALD M Dear Jerry, I decided to write an old-school note of gratitude each week in 2016. I was thinking about you in light of your birthday and so here we go: Some people are strategically placed in someone else’s life, like parents. You are one of those people that God put in my…
Wells that don’t hold water

TIBBY C. I thought would take this year and send a thank you note each week to someone who I needed to thank. It seems a bit cheesy because there is no way I can express my gratitude adequately but I will give it my best shot! Tibby! Today is your birthday! And it seemed…
I’m Thirsty
I am not sure what this will look like as I blog, but I am sensing a need to thirst after God in 2016. For whatever reason, which I could pinpoint but do not care to limit it to that, I have not really been thirsty for God in recent memory and therefore my soul…
