He’s ALIVE – But are They?
This week, I just had to share a post by my husband, Phil. He recounts here a real life-and-death experience that shook up his experience of Easter. This story really gripped my heart and helped me refocus on God during this season of Lent. I hope you find it both challenging and encouraging as well. […]

– Invitation to Remember – It’s raining today and I’m thinking about my father-in-law, Murt, who passed away four years ago.
