I Love That Dirty Water
If you were sitting among a group of God’s people or any average gathering of Americans on a Saturday afternoon and someone asked, “How many people here like rock and roll music,” how would you respond? In most cases, if you’re honest you would quickly raise your hand as would many others, including myself, because […]

We Do Recover by Jennings Pinkerman
“When at the end of the road, we find that we can no longer function as a human being…we all face the same dilemma, either go on as best we can to the bitter end, or find a new way to live” (paraphrase of quotation from “12 Steps”). This year’s INFUSE theme of accountability is […]

Weed Of Bitterness by Brandy Webb
I have written many blogs that mention bitterness, but I have never written about it directly. Recently, I have noticed a lot of bitterness within people, even within God’s ecclesia.

A Friend With Chocolate by Nancy White
The children’s book author, Linda Grayson, said, “There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.” I might say, “Or one who brings you Starbucks in the morning and remembers just the way you like it.” If you were taking out a “friend wanted” ad, how would you describe the […]

In Case Of Emergency Break Glass by Brian G. Bettes
A good friend texted me this picture as a joke recently. Then he said, “This would make a good subject for a blog.” I decided He was right! How often do we take this approach to our relationship with God? Has anyone else ever realized they were doing this, or am I the only […]

The Year of the Rooster by Nancy White
This past week was the start the Chinese New Year. And, wow, do the Chinese know how to party. Unlike the USA, where we have a one-day celebration, the Chinese have 15 day celebration for the New Year. They decorate doors and windows, serve special foods and hand out traditional “red packets” of money. You […]

One Foot In And One Foot Out by Brandy Webb
This past Sabbath, John Reedy gave the message in Texarkana, TX, and he asked something that I am still thinking about a few days later. He asked, as Christians, are we allowing one foot to stay in the world while the other is in God’s church? He was making the point that we are in […]
