Today's Talk
Drag 6.26.19

It’s hard to run full-speed ahead when we’re holding onto something heavy that’s dragging us down — and there’s no heavier burden in life than the weight of our own sin. When we let go of the baggage that’s holding us back, we’re free to run with endurance towards Christ. Nothing in this world that we hold on to is better than the life that He offers us!

Waiting For Spring

Have you ever had a garden with perennials (plants that “come back” each year)? If so, then you know that a perennial plant’s life cycle revolves around the seasons — and that when winter comes, the plant enters a period of dormancy. It sheds its leaves and retreats into a kind of hibernation to protect… Read more »

The Big Picture

Have you ever looked closely at mosaic art? The kind where a bunch of smaller images make up one big picture? I have a friend who created a photo mosaic poster as a birthday gift to her brother. She labored over it for months. When it was done, the final poster – a photo of… Read more »

‘Nowhere’ vs. ‘Now Here’

Cue the January winter blues. The holiday decorations have been packed away for another year. The radio stations won’t play 24/7 Christmas songs again for another 11 months (this is a good thing!).
