Ja foi!” These are the Portuguese words for “he is already
gone.” The Brazilian doctor spoke these words to us, August
9, 1991. Our seven-year-old son, Matthew had battled for
fifty-two hours in the hospital with spinal meningitis. His
heart could battle no more. The unthinkable was happening to
us. Our son died before we did. Ja foi. He is gone. Read more...
Bible Study
In the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus
makes it very clear that God did not create any “no
talented” people! To understand the impact of the parable
of the talents, we need to see God as our Master and we
are slaves who belong to Him! “Or do you not know that
your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you
were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body
and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (I Corinthians
6:19-20) Since God is our Creator and we belong to Him, He
has the absolute right to have expectations of us!

Motherhood
I am the mother of five children and each time one of them
was born I gave them a piece of my heart. How do I know?
Because when they started school, started driving, started
dating, started college, my heart went with them.

Bible Study
How we “get saved” is an issue that
is discussed in all religious groups. The religion of works
tells us that we will need to clean up our lives, start doing
some good works, and somewhere along the line somebody will get
back to us. Where in the Bible does it say that??

Christian Realtor
I know from
my own experience of moving many times, how much buyers
and sellers depend upon their agent. Relocating can be a
very stressful situation whether you are moving within the
city limits, out of the state, or out of the country. It
is important to have a full-time realtor that you can
trust and one who puts the interests of her clients first.

On February 7, 2007, at the ripe old age of
57, and at the whopping weight of 107, I suffered a
mini-stroke! I had none of the risk
factors, but I had several of the symptoms
of a stroke. I was soon to learn that mini-strokes are
just as dangerous as full blown strokes and no
symptoms are ever to be ignored! I had
ignored the symptoms I experienced the week before!

I heard about a woman who was suffering from depression,
so her concerned husband took her to a psychiatrist. The
doctor listened to the couple talk about their
relationship, and then he said, "The treatment I prescribe
is really quite simple." With that, he went over to the
man's wife, gathered her up in his arms, and gave her a
big kiss.

Have you noticed that vacations rarely go the way you
planned? Here’s a typical scenario: Mom and dad outline a
fun and interesting trip for the family. They excitedly
pack the Volkswagon and pull out of the driveway with
great expectations. Then five miles down the road, a crazy
driver cuts dad off in traffic, mom spills her Doctor
Pepper in her lap, an albatross splatters a five gallon
bucket of poop on the windshield, and somebody in the
backseat spews chunks on the carpet, seat, and little
sister. These are telltale signs that the trip isn’t going
to be what you’d anticipated.

H.M. is actually more of a boat person than I am. Having
nearly drowned in a high school swimming class, I don’t
much like water and could live without setting foot in it
except that I must shower occasionally. In fact, I’m
uncomfortable near any body of water unless it has a drain
and a faucet.

Bible Study
Like death, sin has no degrees. Wrong is wrong and we've
all done wrong. No one is better or worse than anybody
else. We’ve all missed the mark or goal God had in mind
for us. Check out the list in Galatians 5:19-23. It
includes behaviors like jealousy, outbursts of anger, and
envy. Who isn’t guilty of these? We're all in the same
sinking boat, and we need a lifeline.
