Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Did you already know this verse? It’s one of my favorites! I even catch myself singing the verse as a song! It’s easy to praise the Lord for all the blessings that we receive isn’t it?

What can I do?

Posted June 11, 2020

There is a crescendo of civil unrest associated with the death of George Floyd. Much of the anger and bitterness expressed in the form of protests and riots point to a deeper underlying issue. The death of George Floyd and the ensuing turmoil that our country is experiencing has brought to the surface that there is a depth of pain and anger in our world today. What can I do about it? How can I change things for the better? You can …

A New Normal

Posted June 4, 2020

If we have learned one thing in this season of COVID-19 it is that many things have changed! Life is different! We have heard that we all need to get used to a “New Normal.” This sounds kind of scary right? All too often change is hard. What will the future hold?

Hey, I could use a little help down here!

Posted May 13, 2020

How are you doing? We have a LOT going on in our lives! Normally we would be celebrating graduations & planning summer vacations right about now, but not this year. No, this year we’re busy with e-learning and trying to figure out when things will get back to “normal.” We’re “busy” with shelter in place and isolation. We’re struggling with finances and worrying about the health of our family and friends. We’re scared. We could use a little help…

Happy Mother's Day!

Posted May 6, 2020

This Sunday we celebrate with one of God's most special gifts...Mom! This year Mother’s Day will be VERY different. You may not even be able to stop by and give mom a hug! But if your mom is still around, please give her a call and say, “Thank you, Mom!” Mother's Day is about giving thanks for all of the things that Moms do for us: changing diapers, fixing meals and kissing boo boos, not …

Are you essential?

Posted April 28, 2020

COVID-19 has turned the definition of “hero” upside down! Hollywood and professional sports have been shut down! We have all come to realize that real heroes don’t wear capes and appear on the big screen. Real heroes wear medical gowns, sell us groceries and pick up our trash. People that we may have over looked just a few weeks ago (or even looked down on) are now recognized as essential as we “shelter in place.”The …

Walking by faith and growing in love

Posted April 23, 2020

Where are you on your faith journey? It’s been a tough road lately hasn’t it? COVID-19 has turned our lives upside down! “Shelter in place”, “social distancing”, “flattening the curve”, these are phrases that didn’t even exist a few weeks ago! Change is upsetting. Especially when we have to do without. No toilet paper or hand sanitizer. Cancelled graduations and proms. No School. No job! Postponed weddings and funerals… This is all so upsetting. I think that we can all identify with …

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Easter joy and peace to you all! For many of us, 2020 has been a time of uncertainty. We are under attack by COVID-19 and we are all a little anxious. As we “shelter in place” and maintain “social distancing”, we may feel scared and alone. This year we will not be able to gather together at Good Shepherd and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus as we normally do. This year Easter may seem a …

Don't Worry It's Spring!

Posted March 26, 2020

Wow, I almost missed it! With everything going on I almost forgot that Thursday, March 19 was the first day of Spring! The grass is starting to turn green. Some flowers are starting to poke through the ground. The earth is waking up from a long winter’s sleep! As I walked outside today I heard a robin sing. I even saw a pair of ducks looking for a place to build their nest. It’s finally springtime! As I listened to the …
