Does your god fit in a box?
When you picture God, what does he look like? Is he old, with a long flowing white beard? Do you picture him sitting on a great throne, scepter in hand, waiting for just the right moment to rain down lightening on his subjects? NO! That is not the God that I know. The God that…

A time for everything…
Memorial Day is approaching and many of us are making plans for the long weekend. May 25th is particularly special to me because it’s the day that I met my husband. This year will mark 35 years, where has the time gone? We met on a beach in Hawaii when I was just 17 years…
