Sometimes we simply need to take time out from life and spend a few quiet moments before the Lord, meditating on his Word and remembering His promises. On Tuesday, Carey led us through the following time of reflection. If you were not able to join us, I hope you will take the time to read the …
Seeing God in the Details
On our first spring-like day of the season, it seems appropriate that we had Sunshine share with us. Here's what she had to say: By Sunshine Metschke When Laura asked if I would contribute my voice on this topic of Windows of the Soul, my brain started spinning with all the ways I personally connect …
An Adventurous Heart
By Katie Kafka I love a good adventure. It often involves excitement, intrigue, unusual places, sweat and challenges. It is a journey to personal growth. Adventure can happen in community with others, or it can be a solo act. I love that it is an experience nobody can take away from you. Adventures give you …
The Power within Us
By Carey Helmink I am in the process of reading Timothy Keller’s book, King’s Cross, a study of the life of Jesus through the eyes of Mark as told in his gospel. A few nights ago, I read the story of Jesus calming the storm and have not been able to get it out of my …

It’s one thing to see with our eyes. Some of what we see also stirs our emotions causing us to feel profoundly. Deeper still, …

It’s possible that living with a seminary-trained pastor influenced that, but more likely it is the Lord’s sense of humor. He …
A Sure and Steadfast Hope
By Stacey Kuszak I talked with several women last week at the brunch and asked them how their Christmas was. The overwhelming response was "Iʼm glad itʼs over." Carey alluded to this last week, but we arrive in the New Year exhausted, donʼt we? What is it about the end of December that leaves us …
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff?
It's always good to be back to routine . . . especially when that routine includes Tuesday Morning Equip Her.
