I wish I'd taken a video of our in-person class this past Tuesday when Marlys led us in a "happy dance." On second thought, it's probably just as well I didn't. This way you can imagine us all as excellent dancers reveling in the joy of being back together again (at a safe 6-foot distance, …
Registration Closes this Sunday
Have you registered for our fall class yet? I'll admit, I'm a life-long procrastinator, but I did register for the Better class today. Why? Because registration closes on Sunday and I don't want to miss out. I don't want any of you to miss out either, so if you're planning to join us next Tuesday, …

The Greatest of These is Love
Happily Ever After. No matter how skeptical you might be, there’s still something about those three words that draws us in. Why? Because at the end of the fairy tale when the narrator tells us the couple lives happily ever after, we know what the words really mean is they loved happily ever after. And …
Love When Loving Is Hard
By Maranda Hoefs I feel 100% unqualified to write a blog on love enduring and love persevering right now. While I’ve been praying about what God would have me write for a long time, the closer I got to the date of me writing, the more questions and confusion set in. I can’t write a …

This type of love requires a deliberate choice be made by the person wanting to express love, rather than concentrating on the one who is the recipient of …
Love in Action
By Courtney Lee Early in the quarantine, I donned some disposable gloves and a mask and went to Super Saver in the dark of the night to “stock up.” I just felt the need to protect my family’s stomachs in case of an apocalyptic event. The cart was very full and when I got home, …

The Dance
By Stacey Kuszak I’m standing on the dance floor waiting for the music to start. My husband comes from a long line of Polish Polka Dancers. It’s the staple of every wedding I’ve ever been to on his side. As the music starts I’m trying to remember if we begin with a quick step or …
Taking Self out of Love
By Cheryl Hansen And now I will show you the most excellent way. 1 Corinthians 13:1 That statement Paul writes seems to point to my own interests. Being a striver, a constant seeker of self-development, I am always on the path for the better and more improved. Excellence is one of my top values. But …
