1 Corinthians 12:4-5 “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And, there are variety of ministries, but the same Lord.” I am resting . . . I really am, but all these things that I’m learning and experiencing about who our God is just have to come out! So, every so often […]
God's Army: His Church
Knee Mail
Exiting a whirlwind week! So much has happened in the past 7 days that it hardly seems real. Here’s a brief timeline: Friday, Dec. 7– After much prayer and seeking Godly council, Kurt resigns his position at Southeast Christian Church taking a financial step of faith in obedience to God’s call to join Further Still full-time in […]
Fall-ing Forward
November! How did that happen . . . again? Novembers are for worshipping God in the majesty of His multi-colored creation. They’re for lighting spiced-apple candles, planning Thanksgiving menus and anticipating hugs and conversations with friends and family, some of whom we don’t see year-round.

As we sat in the small, unattached outbuilding on the church grounds with a handful of pastor’s wives, […]
Eleuthera
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free! (Gal. 5:1) Kurt and I returned Wednesday night from Freedom Island. Eleuthera, Greek for freedom, is a 20-some-mile-long, 2-mile-wide strip of paradise in the Bahamas – the perfect place to celebrate a milestone like 20 years of being man and wife! An “out island,” it remains unspoiled […]
