During many years of serving on staff at a summer camp for girls, God has given me many illustrations and taught me His truth through them. I’d like to share one with you. The swimming pool is a favorite spot for many campers and staff especially during those really hot and humid days of July […]
For many people, mentoring is not a rigid or scheduled process. However, it is intentional.

Note: Numerous quotes are from another blog on the Flowers for the Pastor’s Wife website. The link to the full blog by Chelsea Hall will be provided at the end for you. Please read it for a more in-depth study on mentoring. When my pastor and his young family first came to our church, God […]

Earlier this week, I lost a filling in my tooth, but I was able to get it replaced this morning at the dentist. I don’t know about you, but I find myself tensing up whenever I sit in the dentist chair even if it is only for a cleaning. Today’s procedure wasn’t painful. It wasn’t […]
