Today we had our second day of VBS and as I mentioned yesterday, I plan to blog each day about the wonderful way I see God's love on campus. Today it was our YOUTH IN ACTION! There are certain milestones that our kids at Northwoods look forward to. And one of their favorites is definitely "graduating" from a VBS participant to a VBS Youth Worker. It is so fun to watch our Youth in Action … [Read more...] about Lessons from the ship ~ day 2
Lessons From The Ship –
This week our wonderful church, Northwoods Presbyterian, is hosting Vacation Bible School (VBS). I thought I'd try to blog EVERY day this week (yikes!). Each day I know I'll be inspired. Today I'd like to write a few minutes about the power of a smile and a cheerful heart. We have 170 kids at our church this week for VBS. if I had to guess, I would say less than half of the registrants are … [Read more...] about Lessons From The Ship –

Death… I don’t like it
I am not sure where this blog will go, but today I wanted to write about my sweet father in law, Roger. Roger turned 84 last month and since I've known him, he has never been ill!

About 10 days ago we got a call that Roger was admitted … [Read more...] about Death… I don’t like it

They completely empty the closet and then go through each item to decide what will go back in. Does it … [Read more...] about Spring Cleaning Audit!
Tug -O- War: Me or Thee?!
Today while talking to my buddy C, I knew what my new blog would be about. She was telling me about this great new camp she attended with a child she mentors. It was a Christian camp and it was amazing. There were many things she loved about the camp, but her favorite thing was their motto: I am number THREE! What that means is they put God first, then others, then themselves. So they are … [Read more...] about Tug -O- War: Me or Thee?!
