I was brought up in a Christian home so that got me started.
On April 15, 1979 I heard the most compelling sermon I'd heard in 60+ years and if you are interested, I'll share it with you.
This sermon was preached by Pastor Del McKenzie at the Alliance Church in Grande Prairie, Alberta and recorded "live" at that time. I got a copy of that original tape and digitized it Feb. 2011. Pastor McKenzie gave me email permission Feb. 2011 to "without a doubt, use that sermon in any way you wish. Anything good in it is by the grace of God."
The file is large; 25.8Mb and it runs for 28 minutes. You can download it
This is an MP3 file. You can play that or burn it to an "Audio CD" and play it in any CD player, e.g. in your car.
If you are not sure how to burn an "Audio CD" then see "Burning an Audio CD" further down this page.
One person who listened to that sermon wrote back to me and said:
"Hey Ken, I listened to it, interesting.
There are a lot of fictional characters that people think are historical figures. Huck Fin, Robinson Crusoe, etc.
There are people who have been abducted by aliens.
Now, I'm not saying that I don't believe that Jesus was here at one time, and that he died and rose again, but I spend a lot of time thinking about it. I'm quite sure I believe that, but sometimes I'm not sure I do.
People who are brought up in non-Christian homes must have a harder time than I do. You and I were brought up to believe in God, and that the earth is round. But if you haven't heard about Jesus from the beginning, it must be hard to get your head around it.
I don't know if what I said makes sense to you, but I do spend time trying to convince myself that there is a God, and he is all the Bible says he is.
I dare you to try even harder to convince me, I really WANT to believe.
And there's more, if you want to go to Heaven, believing is the first step only. I don't know if anyone, except a VERY select few that is worthy of Heaven. The way I hear tell, you almost have to be Mother Theresa to get there. When I think about it, even if I tried, I don't think I could be 'good enough'."
My son David spent some time on this and came up with his views on it:
"I'd say you are heading in absolutely the right direction. But it's worse than you think - much worse. NOBODY is worthy of heaven. Even Mother Theresa isn't worthy. And no matter how much we try we simply can't be good enough. The bible says our best attempts are as good as filthy menstrual rags (Isaiah 64:6). The language there is purposefully pretty strong. It's point is clear: In ourselves we don't have the capacity to ever be 'good enough'.
Jesus came to be our substitute. He came in order to take that very filthiness onto himself for us. In our place. God heaped his wrath on Jesus, our substitute. The most unfair act in history. Him for us. We didn't deserve it, we didn't ask for it - he simply chose out of love to become that for us. The bible calls him the second Adam. The first Adam sinned and brought sin into the world and his sin became a thorough stain on humanity that each and every one of us prove out day by day in all its obviousness. Jesus, as the second 'Adam', came and his perfection was accounted to us. It doesn't make us perfect, but it makes us in God's eyes, as though we were perfect. In the bible's language, we are now 'justified' before God.
It's a bit trite and cliche sounding, but I've heard it put this way: when we stand before God after our death, he'll have one question: Why would you expect or even hope to enter heaven - on what grounds do you deserve entry?
Any answer we could possibly give, any stories of great acts, any sacrifice we've made, any lineage, any acts of heroism or charity - anything we could possibly say would only receive the response: 'filthy rags'. Sad but true. Others may have appreciate our efforts. We may have made entire communities better-off. We might have saved lives. We might have turned the tide of racism in a culture. Might have even given up our very life for the sake of others and God will say: 'filthy rags'. We judge men based on different standards than God does.
There's only one answer that will pass muster: 'I put my only trust and hope in Jesus and his death for me'.
That's it. The simplest answer - one that a child can give. One that a lifetime of love in and trust of Jesus can bear out. Doesn't mean that I'm perfect. Doesn't mean that I'm often even an unpleasant guy. Or that I don't struggle with various sins throughout my life. But my trust is that Jesus in his love died for me. That his act actually did something - for me. It wasn't something Jesus did, hoping I might find it helpful. It was effective. And it was enough.
A lifetime of living with this deep, satisfying knowledge and longing to understand it more and wanting to love Jesus more, and being with Jesus' very imperfect people, and serving him in the best stumble-bumble way I can - all of this does change us. It just does. Sometimes almost imperceptibly slowly, and at other times in big obvious ways. But it does change us. But even the change - as much as it refines us (and hopefully makes us easier to live with) - it will never make us worthy of God love, worthy of heaven. Simply putting our trust and faith alone in Jesus' death for me - that's my only answer for God, and it's the only one that God will accept.
I believe this with all my heart. Do I live it out every day? Does it show in my life all the time? Um, no. To my shame I too often live as though I don't believe any of this. And there are times I have crazy thoughts that my imagination has just run wild to believe any of it. But those times are becoming more seldom, and my trust grows.
I love the first question of the Heidelberg Confession. It's a document written with the goal of summarizing the bible's main teachings and does so with a series of questions and answers. It was written ages ago so the language is a bit odd, but hopefully not too much of a distraction. I don't know how many questions there are - many - but the first one is perhaps the most important, or the one that I suppose burns brightest on everyone's mind who thinks about important stuffs.
Question 1. What is thy only comfort in life and death? Answer: That I with body and soul, both in life and death am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ; who, with his precious blood, has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation, and therefore, by his Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready, henceforth, to live unto him.
I suppose the cousin of that document would be the Westminster Catechism. Again, a summary of the teachings of the bible, put in Q&A form. The first question isn't what you've asked here, but it's the next logical question if the stuff above is to be believed.
Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?
A. Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.
The entire catechism is here and it's very good.
And of course if the above is believed, then it opens up a TON of other questions - why is God so angry at sin, what about babies who can't actively put their trust in God. What about people who've never heard about Jesus, why does God allow such great suffering in the world. All awesome, amazing, hard questions. But none of those will have any meaning outside the context of the question you asked. You asked the first and most important question.
I hope my opinions are helpful.
These are notes I made in the back of my Bible, over a period of many years.

This book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven is opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. CHRIST IS ITS GRAND SUBJECT, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered for ever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labour, and condemns all who trifle with its sacred contents.

The God who stopped the sun on high
and sent the manna from the sky
laid flat the walls of Jericho
and put to flight old Israel's foe
why can't he answer prayer today
and drive each stormy cloud away?
who turned the water into wine
and healed a helpless cripple's spine
commanded tempests "Peace, be still"
and hungry multitudes did fill
His power is just the same today
so why not labour, watch, and pray?
He conquered in the lions' den
brought Lazarus back to life again
He heard Elijah's cry for rain
and freed the sufferers from pain
if He could do those wonders then
Let's prove our mighty God again
why can't the God who raised the dead
gave little David Goliath's head
cast out the demons with a word
yet sees the fall of one wee bird
do signs and miracles today
in that same good old fashioned way
He CAN; he's just the same today.
----- Martin Luther
Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village. He worked
in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher.
He never owned a home. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put His foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but Himself.
While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed upon a cross between two thieves. While He was dying His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth - His coat. When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.
Nineteen long centuries have come and gone, and today He is a centerpiece of the human race and leader of the column of progress.
I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the navies that were ever built; all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that one solitary life.
1. There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2. Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness and peace.
3. The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.
4. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.
5. Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God: he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The portion of the unrepentant and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment; and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss.
6. Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.
7. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly, being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.
8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age.
9. The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations. The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.
11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal, visible, and premillennial. This is the believer's blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren, 'Purpose Driven Life' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California.
In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:
People ask me, What is the purpose of life?
And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body -- but not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.
We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.
This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.
I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.
Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems.
If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain. But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her - It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.
Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.
So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit. We made no major purchases.
Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.
Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.
Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.
That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.
Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.
If you do not pass it on, nothing will happen. But it will just be nice to pass it on to a friend....just like I have done.
NOW... (August 13, 2012) I am VERY GLAD that I believe in what I believe. That is, that Jesus was born and died to pay the price for MY sins and as a result of that, I can be assured that Paradise has a spot for ME.
In May of 2012 I was diagnosed as having terminal cancer of the pancreas.
The details of that ordeal can be found in my NEW BLOG at http://www.sticksite.com/death.html.
How to burn an Audio CD with Windows Media Player and Windows 7
insert the blank disc, note that nothing happens
Start | Computer and locate the CD
double-click the CD and choose "With a CD/DVD Player" and click "Next" Drag the MP3 files to the CD folder
A or B Below
A. note the 3 tabs on the right: Play | Burn | Sync
under "Play" click "Start Burn"
B. Note at the top "Organize | Burn disc | Delete....
Choose "Burn..., then follow prompts
If there are TWO discs because there are too many files for one, you can remove some files by right-clicking them and choosing "Remove...."
Burning an "AUDIO" CD from MP3 files, using WindowsXP and Media Player 9 (700MB, 80 minutes)
Assume you have (6) folders, each with (200) MP3 files and want an "Audio" CD with the maximum number of songs on it.
A. Make a new Playlist for each new CD:
1. click the "Media Library" button on the left side
2. right-click "My Playlists" and choose "new" and enter the name you want to give the new playlist (e.g."AudioCD2"); click "OK"
B. click "Media Libary" button
1. click "All music" and clear out all the files (click the top one, hold down the "Shift" key and click the bottom one, then hit "Delete" on the keyboard.
2. "Add" and "By searching computer", add the relevant folder and "new files only" and "search" (very slow)
3. make sure all 200 files are in "All music"
4. in the right pane, drag column headings around until you have "Title.....Filename....Artist....length"
5. Click "File Name" to sort the files and be sure they will be in the same order next time and have them in same order as in Windows Explorer
6. Hold down the Ctrl key, select 28 song files and drag them to the new Playlist (I use 28 because there is a good chance one or two may not be convertible; if your songs are mainly "short" you might use 35 or more)
NOTE: look for the length in minutes/seconds; if any do not show a figure, they will not be converted so add others to replace them.
7. Leave the "All music" playlist for the next audio CD
8. In your new Playlist (Media Library) remove any songs which were not copied to the CD (due to errors or because there were too many)
C. click "Copy to CD or Device"

2. Note, at the bottom, the number of files and number of minutes. If the minutes are less than the 80 allowed, you might add another song or two.
3. If you have more songs than the CD can hold, it will remove the checkmark from those which won't fit and color them and mark them. BUT NOTE: Sometimes it will burn these IN PART onto the CD anyway so it is best to DELETE THEM from the list. Some may have "error" indications; you should remove these from the playlist both here and in the "Media Library" and the refresh the list by opening a different list and then coming back to it.
4. make sure that under "Items on device" it shows "Audio CD"
5. click the "Copy" button.
6. make a list of songs which could not be converted, for later study
7. the CD will eject when done; when done it may not show 100% done but that is not a problem
8. While you still have the playlist of the songs on screen: - press "Print Screen" on the keyboard and then open Irfanview and "Edit | Paste" and then crop to leave a picture showing Filename, title, length, size and the playlist name at the top. Save the cropped image with a file name to match the name of the new CD, eg. Audio2A.jpg.
- Take the main Text (or RTF) file of ALL your MP3 files and copy to a new RFT (in Wordpad) file the files on the new CD
- type each song's length and file size into the new document and save as and RTF file. Print to keep with the new CD

The St. Vincent de Paul Parish Faith Formation Program follows the guidelines of the Diocese of Buffalo in the structure and implementation of its sessions. In order to meet the needs of busy families and young people, there are options for instruction.
Students meet at their particular age/grade level in a discipleship group from grades Kindergarten through 8th Grade under the direction of a classroom catechist teaches Catholic doctrine, and gives witness to his/her faith by sharing experiences of God and the Sacraments.
St. Vincent de Paul Parish has implemented a NEW FAITH FORMATION CURRICULUM as directed by the Diocese of Buffalo called Forming Disciples. This curriculum looks at the six tasks of catechesis namely:
Catholic Doctrine: Knowledge of the teachings of the Catholic faith
Liturgy: How the Church celebrates the Sacraments and enters into the mystery of God
Morality: Living out God’s commandments
Prayer: Developing a relationship with God
Community Life: Love of God cannot be separated from love of neighbor.
Missionary Activity: Catholic Christians serve God by doing good works in order to build up God’s Kingdom on earth.


Relaxing, and even sleeping, doesn’t come easy for me. Because of my Sensory Processing Disorder, the process of unwinding is usually a battle. It’s essential for me to have a quiet place to retreat after work, church, or social outings so I can be rejuvenated for interacting with the world again.
Quiet time is important for everyone though, not just people with special needs. Even Jesus Christ, who had the most important mission on earth, often found time to be alone. This discipline refueled and focused Him for interacting with the crowds He wanted to help, serve and heal. (Mark 1:35-38)
Those of us with disorders like SPD, or who have introverted personalities, need time alone for overall health and well-being. Time to heal and become refreshed is important so we can reengage with the world at our very best. Here’s are a few ideas that have helped me.


Every week our youth ministry gives students a fun place to hang out, make friends, worship together, and talk with fellow students and leaders in small groups about the issues they face daily. Our students go to summer camp every year to help them grow spiritually and strengthen their walk with Christ.
We meet every Wednesday evening.
Middle School meets from 6:00-8:00pm, and High School meets from 7:00-9:00pm, with a combined worship taking place from 7:00-7:30pm.

Ligocka Kuźnia, which is a district of Rybnik, has an interesting monument. It is a wooden church of Saint Lawrence. The shrine was built in 1717 in nearby Boguszowice, and moved to Ligocka Kuźnia in the 70s of the last century. The building, erected on a Greek cross plan, houses the precious painting depicting the
martyrdom of Saint Lawrence. The church lies on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesia province.

Yesterday, I found myself watching Terence Malik‘s latest film: To The Wonder. Terence Malik is not a conventional director, he is a philosopher in the disguise of a film director. To The Wonder is not a film, it shows up for me as philosophical meditation on life, on love, on God, and on existence itself. It just so happens that this meditation is communicated through film.
If you find that that which I speak finds a listening in you then I recommend that you make the time to ‘read’ To The Wonder. And as for any philosophical reading it is necessary to do so when one either creates for finds oneself in the right mood and with the right listening – a listening that allows the speaking to show up as meaningful.
What more is there to say on To The Wonder? Allow me to share with you snippets of the sayings (on To The Wonder) that speak to me and shed some light.
“Every one of us, no matter how damaged or abnormal or shut down, we’re all looking for love. Every person needs love in this world, but our views on what love is vary enormously. Which is the joy and the problem.”
– Olga Kurylenko (one of the main characters in the film)
“Why must a film explain everything? Why must every motivation be spelled out? Aren’t many films fundamentally the same film, with only the specifics changed? Aren’t many of them telling the same story? Seeking perfection, we see what our dreams and hopes might look like. We realize they come as a gift through no power of our own, and if we lose them, isn’t that almost worse than never having had them in the first place?”
– Roger Ebert (film critic, deceased)
“On a deeper level, the film is Malick’s meditation on the Christian vision of love — and the obstacles that we perversely place in the way of satisfying our irrepressible longing for it. Anyone who’s fallen in love is familiar with the feeling: The world appears transfigured. In the first words of the film, Marina describes it as being “newborn,” called “out of the shadows……..
Ultimately, for Malick, the experience of falling in love grants us a glimpse of the divine — of a “Love that loves us”…… But love is not only rapture. In Malick’s Christian view, it also calls on us to sacrifice, to give ourselves over fully to the one we love…… Father Quintana says it is: “Love is not only a feeling. Love is a duty. You shall love… You feel your love has died? It is perhaps waiting to be transformed into something higher.”
Father Quintana achieves a spiritual epiphany during a sequence toward the end of the movie that is unlike any I have ever encountered in film……As the priest comforts a succession of suffering people — the old, the anguished, the crippled, the sick, and the dying — he recites a devotion of St. Patrick: “Christ be with me. Christ before me. Christ behind me. Christ in me. Christ beneath me. Christ above me. Christ on my right. Christ on my left. Christ in the heart.”
Humanity was made for God. And he is present all around us — in the transfiguring, wondrous joy of romantic love, in self-giving sacrifice, in our suffering and the suffering of others, in the charity we offer to those in pain, in the resplendent beauty of the natural world — if only we open our eyes to see him. That, it seems, is Terrence Malick’s scandalous message.”
– Damon Linker (senior correspondent at theweek.com)


11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Psalm 85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Here we have four attributes of God, they are mercy, truth, righteousness, and peace (Ps. 85:10-11).
Truth, God’s Word, was given to us to know the will of God for our lives. Righteousness moves us to obedience to the truth. Mercy forgives man of sin. Next comes peace. Peace comes as we walk in righteousness according to the truth we learned in His Word and in our relationship with Him.
All four attributes of God work in harmony to bring salvation to men that fear God (Ps. 85:9).

Merry Christmas to all!
Grateful that God came as a baby boy. He is Immanuel, God with us.
May we be more aware of His love for us this Christmas season than ever before.
After months of planning for my wedding and adjusting to a new job, Styl’d by Grace is back in full swing.
During the past few months, there have been many life changing occasions which include my marriage to the love of my life, Edward Palma, living on my own for about a month (Edward moved in after the wedding), and being given a great design opportunity (a.k.a. a much needed and welcomed job). God has come through in more ways than I could’ve ever imaged. He is faithful in everything! And that’s an understatement.
Stepping into adulthood is not as easy as I imagined when I was younger. Every step of the way requires faith and trust in God. I believe one of the things we neglect to add to the list of requirements is joy. If we learned to rejoice in every moment, even the moments that aren’t as pleasant, we would see the journey in a different light.
While planning our wedding, it was difficult for me to find joy in the process. I commend wedding planners because it is a very stressful task. Time and time again I was advised to “take in every moment”, to “make the best of this time”, to “enjoy the planning”. There were times when we had no idea how we would pay for the wedding, but we trusted God and prayed fervently for every need to be met. However, there were a lot of details that had to be compromised in order to be frugal and wise with our finances. Those were the moments when I found joy… I say that I “found” joy, because many times joy isn’t going to be something you feel. Joy, I would like to propose most times, will be something we have to find or choose to have.
In reality, when I think back on our wedding day, the details did bring me happiness. It was a magical day in a magical place. There were things that didn’t go as planned as well. But we found joy from the intangible: the people who helped us make it happen, our families happiness and support, and the immeasurable love we felt from every person there. We found joy!
The joy that you find verses the joy that you feel is very different. The joy you feel can be described as excitement, happiness or butterflies in your stomach. The joy you find is an unspeakable joy, you can’t describe it. It’s supernatural and it is invigorating to the soul.
Every morning Edward wakes up early to head to work and I wake up with him to fix breakfast and his lunch. If you know me well, you know I am NOT a morning person. I don’t like talking until I am fully awake. It’s the way I’ve always been. But Edward wakes up SO happy, no matter how early, no matter if he had a good nights rest or not. Lately, I haven’t really been sleeping much. Edward moves a lot while sleeping and I’m a light sleeper. (What are the odds?) I am so tempted to wake up and be upset for not sleeping long enough and well enough.
But I choose joy… my household’s peace and well being depends on me choosing joy. I can either wake up with an attitude and make my husband’s day start badly or I can wake up joyful and infect him with it. Choosing joy is infectious and it can determine how you will impact the people around you. My example of choosing joy might not be as deep or serious as some of the things others may be facing. However, in every situation, through every hardship and struggle, God’s unspeakable joy can be found and us choosing joy can draw other to Him.
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” Philippians 4:4-5
God desires for us to have faith and trust in him and I believe that in the process of having faith and trusting Him deeper, He wants us to learn to find His joy. The quicker we grasp this principle, the more gratifying the journey will be.
Can you share a time when you found joy in a difficult situation or in a situation that was out of your comfort zone?
Special note: During the Christmas season, many people struggle with finding joy due to loss, being away from home, financial hardships, etc. Share this blog with those you know need the comfort of knowing God’s joy.

Nothing, means absolutely nothing. Not even how you’re going to pay for groceries or your student loans.
Yesterday I made a decision to meditate on Philippians 4: 6-7 the entire day. It was my first time really taking the word “meditation” to heart. Every single time I felt anxious about anything (or nothing), my mind was made up to recite the verse word by word. To my surprise, I was able to accomplish two things: memorized the verse and put to rest my anxiety.
When the verse says “Be anxious for nothing”, it is implying that there is a part for us to play. “Being” requires an action and it is our responsibility to take control of anxiety, negativity and any other feeling or thought that keeps us from living in freedom. Yes, there are things in life that we have no control over but we do have control over our reaction to those things. Will we choose to be anxious and worried or will we choose to meditate on God’s promises? I guarantee, meditating on God’s word will only make you healthier emotionally, spiritually, and even physically.
It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we decide to actively dismiss the thoughts or words that intoxicate us with anxiety and worry. We work better, we love better, we can hear God’s voice better. And it’s as simple as taking a deep breathe and thinking to yourself “Be anxious for nothing!”.
What are some things you can do today to take control over your emotions, words and thoughts?
Everyone that knows me well can say that I am the least athletic girl they have met. I can’t catch a ball if my life depended on it. Sports were never part of the extracurricular activities I was involved in when I was in school. I was more of an “artsy” person. I did drama, choir, art club but never really tried getting into sports. My sisters always tease me because I can’t throw a football correctly. “You throw like a girl!”, they scream at me. Once, in high school, one of my really good friends Amanda convinced me to go to her conditioning for volleyball. Needless to say, I was an embarrassment. I don’t think I would’ve even made the junior varsity team.
Ironically enough, I am engaged to a sports fanatic. And when I say fanatic, I am not over exaggerating. Edward is a mans man. He loves sports! But he mostly enjoys (to say the least) watching the Miami Heat. He will schedule his day around the time they play. It’s kind of scary to me but, hey, if that’s what makes him happy, right? The playoffs are amazing for him but not so much for me. It’s funny though, because the more I watch the games with him, the more engaged I become. His love for the game of basketball and the Miami Heat is contagious after a while. By the middle of the playoffs I find myself rooting for our home team, the Miami Heat. Chants like “3-0-5, till I Die” start to become part of my speech and I even get mad at the refs for calling something wrong.
Even if it’s just fun and games, I have learned something from this. Defending our home team is close to our hearts because our identity lies in the place we originate from. We know who we are when we know where we come from. I read an article that said that adopted children search for their biological parents out of curiosity to know if they look like them or if they share any personality traits with them. We all have a desire to be connected to and know our origin. I believe it is something God put on the inside of us. Although our geographical and biological place of origin can bring a sense of connection to us, I am speaking of our spiritual place of origin. When we have the revelation that we come straight from the heart of God and were formed by Him, we find our true identity.
The Book of Genesis tells us that God spoke to earth for it to produce living creatures according to their kind. (Genesis 1:24) But when He created man, He spoke to himself and said “Let us make mankind in our own image”, (Genesis 1:26). The animals that came from the earth can’t survive unless they stay connected to their place of origin. As is with every other creature created. That principle applies to us as well. We came from God and we cannot survive unless we are connected to Him.
When we start to uncover the magnitude of this truth we see ourselves drastically different. We start to understand why sometimes the things we are so attached to become old and uninteresting after a while. Knowing that we come from God and are made in His image, changes our perspective of life and our purpose suddenly becomes clear. The things our world and culture tells us are valuable suddenly aren’t as valuable anymore. See, the greatest revelation I’ve had thus far is that playing for my home team, God’s Kingdom, is best. It’s the place I feel most comfortable at, it’s where my gifts come alive, and it’s where I can walk in my true purpose.
When we know where we come from we:
1. Walk with authority
2. Have peace
3. Know what and Who we stand for
I believe those three things dictate how we operate our lives. Assurance and authority helps us have a healthy view about ourselves and instills the belief that we are called for greater things. Knowing we are of God and made with a purpose gives us peace. Thoughts of doubt and any sense of rejection leaves our minds. We can sleep well at night knowing we were God’s idea. Most importantly, when we stand for something, we won’t fall for anything. The conviction that comes from knowing I am God’s, helps me stand for all things that are righteous. My mind is alert and my heart can discern what’s of God and what’s not of God. Our generations identity crisis can slowly but surely be resolved, if we understand that we come from God and were created in His own image.
How can knowing you come from God and are part of His team, help you on a daily basis?
Today’s blog is dedicated to the most important women in my life: my momma and two older sisters. They are the inspiration for this blog.
Growing up as the youngest of four (one older brother and two older sisters), I rarely felt the need or want to have many girl friends. My two older sisters, Olga and Monica, are my best friends. I tell them my struggles and hurts and they, for the most part, are there for me. I’ve continually felt their love and support through all the phases of my life. Our mother taught us to be that way. We don’t feel envy and jealousy towards each other. It’s not something we contemplate on or embrace in our relationship. A victory for them, is a victory for me and vise versa. It’s always been like that, and I pray that it will always be like that.
The blessing of having a healthy relationship with my sisters has stirred a longing in my heart for us, as women, to stop hating on each other and start building relationships that resemble a sisterhood. I’m not saying I never argue with my sisters or get mad at them (they annoy me sometimes), but I do feel like I can be honest and open with them. There is room for me to express myself and not feel judged. I know that even if we don’t agree on certain things, we will always be sisters. Nothing will take that away.
What if we learned to see our friendships like that? How would our community look like? How would our world look like? How would our churches look like? Sometimes it seems as if we’re just trying to “one-up” the girl that’s next to us. If she gets engaged before us, we freak out and think, “Dang! And I’m still single. I better find a man, quick!”. If she gets a better job, we get depressed and start feeling bad for ourselves. It’s a disservice to ourselves and others, to harbor envy, contention and jealousy. We will never reach our potential when we are too preoccupied with what others have over us. I once heard an ad on the radio that said “There will always be someone prettier, someone smarter, someone taller, someone funnier. But they’ll never be you”. That’s truth! I can only be the best version of me. And others should only worry about being the best version of themselves.
I cannot remember a time when I felt obligated to compare myself with my sisters. We were raised to embrace our unique personalities and talents. It took me a while to realize that the foundation my mom had formed in our family unit, should also be applied to the friendships in my life. When the lights when on, I learned to embrace other women, celebrate their achievements and be content with who I was. By content I don’t mean being mediocre, rather, feeling fortunate to be who God called me to be.
This week I heard a message from my Pastor about unity. He said that unity is something you work on. It is not something that just happens. While I digested that thought, I remembered a passage that says, “Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.” (Romans 12:10, 11-13) All the words in this passage are an encouragement to take action. Building healthy, non-toxic relationships, will require action. And it doesn’t surprise me that the passage urges us to love each other with “brotherly” love. Loving others like a sister or brother, will take an effort. You will hurt for them, you will have to call them, you will have to make an effort to spend time with them and you will have to choose to celebrate their happiness even when you’re not feeling happy.
So many of us make the mistake of thinking that we can be called a friend without putting time and effort into the relationship. Yes, we all have busy lives and hectic schedules but you make time for the relationships you care for. My sisters always make time to talk to me, laugh with me and encourage me. They MAKE time. You can’t call someone your sister or friend when they only value your relationship enough to “squeeze” you into their schedule. It’s about valuing our relationships more than our personal agenda and personal gain. Let’s rise up to promote an environment where other women can be themselves, feel loved and feel united in our presence.
Shout out to my friend Cindy Diaz. She is a fabulous writer and has been editing my blog posts. You are the bomb!
You might think I’m kind of nerdy when I admit the following: I have memorized the movie The Wizard of Oz by heart. I know every single song and I can literally play it in my mind as if I was watching the movie. It comes in handy when I can’t sleep. DON’T JUDGE ME!
When I was in middle school I was enrolled in a performing arts school and one of the first plays I was part of was The Wizard of Oz. The funniest part of the story is that I got casted as one of the munchkins. And honestly, since middle school, I think I only grew about two inches. I’m pretty short (4 foot and 11 inches tall). Despite being shorter than the average 24-year-old, I don’t mind when people make fun of my height… but it wasn’t always like that. I was a very insecure girl all through middle school and high school. I hated myself. Looking at myself in the mirror was torture and I just wanted to change myself into another person. When I decided to make Jesus my Lord and Savior at the age of 15, I knew that my “old” mentality had to change. However, the deep-rooted insecurity that I had struggled with for most of my youth had taken root into a very ugly and disgusting monster called “fear”.
I can’t remember when I started to fear, worry, and feel anxiety all the time. It came over me like a wave that I couldn’t manage to jump over. When God started using me to pour into other young women’s lives, it was a struggle to not feel intimidated by other leaders that were being used by God as well. I always felt inadequate, less than, and insufficient. And my reaction was to be a little “extra”. You know what I mean by “extra”. Extra nice, extra humble, extra spiritual and extra fashionable. Basically, extra FAKE! God was using me and I was allowing Him to use me, but I think He got tired of me serving Him in fear. He asked me to step down from a few of my responsibilities and during that time, God examined my heart and revealed the junk I had stored away.
In that time of self-evaluation, I came across a verse that I have read many times. Many people use this verse when they pray. Honestly, it’s one of those verses that you kind of disregard over time. But when you truly understand it’s meaning and depth, it changes the way you think and live. It reads: “This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:6-7)
When we live in fear, it counteracts the action of “fanning into flame” our God-given gifts. It is clear that with rekindled fire and zeal for God, fear cannot be present. Fear is an extinguisher to faith and we cannot grow in the continual presence of fear. Interestingly, the word fear in this context is better translated as cowardice or the lack of bravery.
If you recall, the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz wanted nothing more than to stop feeling scared. He is my favorite character in the movie. Maybe because I could identify with him. The king of the jungle was living in fear which didn’t make him much of a king. He says something in the movie that struck a chord in me, “Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage!”. Living courageously (lacking fear), has the power to set us free! Courage allows us to be real and walk in our true identity. If you are a believer in Christ, your identity is that of royalty and the only thing you should be a slave to is your faith in God. Like it says in 2 Timothy, we will have power, love and self-disciple. Power to overcome feelings of intimidation and love to serve others freely as God calls us to. Most importantly, courage conditions us to live dependent on God and not our reckless emotions.
Some practical steps to be free from fear are:
1. Speak to someone you trust that can give you sound advice on the matter. Surround yourself with people who will speak words of love and life into you.
2. Be diligent in deepening your relationship with the God by attending church regularly and reading the bible. Sometimes we do this out of habit but when we learn to do it with authenticity, it makes all the difference in the world.
3. Actively remove negative thoughts from your mind. Don’t contemplate voices and thoughts that are not edifying to you. If it’s a thought that makes you feel less than, fearful and anxious it’s time to purge it.
What are some steps you have taken to overcome personal struggles in your life?
The most unexpected situations sometimes birth the best fruit in our lives. Sometimes it takes a loss, a disappointment or a season of emptiness to stir up what’s already inside us. When our faith is tested, we have two choices: choose God or not. It really is that simple. We can choose to remain in Him or remain in our funk.
Graduation was almost a year ago and I worked diligently to make the most of my education. Last May, I received a Bachelors in Fine Arts in Graphic Design. It’s a pretty high achievement for those studying graphic design. Employers take notice of candidates that have a BFA in design so it all seemed like it would work out for me. While I was going to school, I was freelancing and interning on and off to gain experience and be ready for the real world. Honestly, nothing prepares you for the real world. The real world, prepares you for the real world.
Following graduation, I started applying to different job openings. Jobs that I really wanted and jobs that I really didn’t care for. I had phone interviews, follow up interviews and didn’t land anything for six months. In the wait, I learned a little bit about myself and a lot about God’s divine plan for my life. Life’s interruptions are really God’s Divine interventions. I thought that all the dedicated work I had put in while being a student would automatically qualify me, over others, for any opportunity that came my way. I realized my faith was set on the idea that a degree would enable me to have a steady income. My faith was set on my own works, not on the Grace of God.
John 15:5 says, “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.”
I have realized that my understanding of remaining in God is miniscule. It has taken more than I expected for me to gain a greater understanding of this principle. Landing an internship after waiting six months for a full time job wasn’t the breaking point. I had to go through landing a job with an employer that wasn’t being honest, giving a two weeks notice for what seemed as the opportunity of my dreams and being “let go” after only 2 weeks of working there. I had even moved out of my parent’s home to pursue this “dream job”. Consequently, my parents made the decision to separate in light of me moving out.
There are many questions I have for God like “What am I supposed to do with my life?”, “What is my purpose?”, “Why couldn’t my parents work things out?”. He hasn’t answered all my questions and He might never answer them all. But one thing I am sure of, I am to remain in Him because apart from Him, I literally can’t do anything. The dictionary defines the word remain to continue to exist, especially after other similar or related people or things have ceased to exist. So what does it mean to remain in God? It means to continue to exist in His presence even when you lose a job, when your parents are getting a divorce, when you lose a loved one and even when you don’t know what will happen next.
When we have nothing to hold on to but God, we realize that He was all we needed from the start. When we stay stuck to Him, it’s inevitable for us not to grow, succeed, and live in our purpose. He is the source! The biggest lesson I have learned is that my personal truimphs or lack there of, aren’t going to determine the outcome of my future. God is the only one who determines the outcome. That is why it is vital for me to remain in Him. I can bear mediocre fruit if I rely on my own works but I will bear divine fruit when I remain in the Him.
For months I have been contemplating to start my own blog. A blog with content that will edify women and empower them to live out their God-given purpose. In a relevant way… of course! After being encouraged by family members, friends and a gut feeling, I decided to start.
“Styl’d by Grace” is a blog for women of all walks of life. You’ll be able to read about the latest trends in fashion, learn about design, be inspired by posts that are faith-based and read stories about relationships, dating and friendship.
The main purpose of Styl’d by Grace is to provide a resource to young women that encourages them to live respectful and authentic lives. There are too many magazines, TV shows and twitter accounts that influence women to lead unfulfilled lives. This is my way of saying, “I’ve had enough!”.
It’s really tiring to be styled by what others think and it’s really overwhelming to be styled by the standards of our society. However, to be styled by truth brings freedom and revelation to our lives. I believe this blog will help women uncover truth in a practical and relevant way.
I invite you to join me in learning how to be Styl’d by Grace.

The Painted Katie
Ten years ago I packed my green Honda Civic to the brim and headed to Charleston, SC, fueled by little more than a mustard seed of faith and a head full of dreams. Nearly a decade later, God has been so faithful in allowing me to be a wife and mother to four children (and a very cuddly puppy named Huggins) while pursuing a career as an artist.
The Painted Katie was born out of a lifetime of insatiable creating, doodling in the margins of school assignments, and begging my dad to get me more copy paper to draw on. It is my way of using artistic expression to glorify God and point others to Christ, the Master Artist. The Painted Katie is more than just a business - it’s a mission. A portion of all proceeds is donated to two global missions efforts that are making an eternal difference in the lives of children who are victims of poverty and persecution because of their faith - Remember Those and 58ten.
Each piece is designed to be reach beyond the canvas and into the hearts of each recipient. Whether it’s a written passage of Scripture on the back, an outgoing prayer offered as I drop it in the mail, or a handwritten note of gratitude - I want every offering to be a blessing to each space it graces.
God created you for a purpose too, and I hope each piece reflects that sentiment and encourages you to step into the uniquely fashioned, wonderfully made, one-of-a-kind YOU. Each person is a canvas equipped with unique talents, abilities, and gifts expertly crafted by the masterful hand of a loving Father. I pray that my artwork will in some way reflect the beauty and peace that can only be experienced by a true relationship with the Master Artist.


The main Christian pilgrimage sites were Jerusalem, where Christ was buried, Rome, with the grave of Saint Peter the Apostle, and Santiago de Compostela, with the mausoleum dedicated to Saint James the Apostle.
Worshippers from all over France and even from other nearby countries walked the great distance to reach Santiago de Compostela. They favoured certain routes which crossed famous worshipping sites.
For example, pilgrims who followed the Vézelay route, also known as Via Lemovicencis, could stop over in Bénévent to worship the relics of Bartholomew the Apostle. They could come via La Souterraine and continue on to Limoges, stopping over in Saint Léonard de Noblat, an important pilgrimage site, or travel through Bourganeuf to reach Tulle and then Rocamadour.
Each pilgrim had his own itinerary and there was no single official Santiago de Compostela route.
Santiago pilgrims, also known as « jacquets », were traditionally equipped with a large stick called a “bourdon”, a saddlebag, and a hat with a large rim. As proof of their journey, they would return with sea shells collected on the beaches of Galicia. This explains why the symbol of pilgrimage is a scallop shell (Saint James shell in French).
Nowadays, the Camino de Santiago de Compostela is used by faithful pilgrims as well as by simple ramblers.
The pilgrimage tradition
Pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela played an important part in the prosperity and notoriety of Bénévent. This sequence explains the tradition of pilgrimage.

Joseph F. Smith, Conference Report, April 6, 1900
I recollect most vividly a circumstance that occurred in the days of my childhood. My mother was a widow, with a large family to provide for. One spring when we opened our potato pits she had her boys get a load of the best potatoes, and she took them to the tithing office; potatoes were scarce that season. I was a little boy at the time, and drove the team. When we drove up to the steps of the tithing office, ready to unload the potatoes, one of the clerks came out and said to my mother, “Widow Smith, it’s a shame that you should have to pay tithing.” He said a number of other things that I remember well, but they are not necessary for me to repeat here. The . . . name of that tithing clerk was William Thompson, and he chided my mother for paying her tithing, called her anything but wise or prudent; and said there were others who were strong and able to work that were supported from the tithing office. My mother turned upon him and said:
“William, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Would you deny me a blessing? If I did not pay my tithing, I should expect the Lord to withhold His blessings from me. I pay my tithing, not only because it is a law of God, but because I expect a blessing by doing it. By keeping this and other laws, I expect to prosper and to be able to provide for my family.” Though she was a widow, you may turn to the records of the Church from the beginning unto the day of her death, and you will find that she never received a farthing from the Church to help her support herself and her family; but she paid in thousands of dollars in wheat, potatoes, corn, vegetables, meat, etc. The tithes of her sheep and cattle, the tenth pound of her butter, her tenth chicken, the tenth of her eggs, the tenth pig, the tenth calf, the tenth colt—a tenth of everything she raised was paid. Here sits my brother, who can bear testimony to the truth of what I say, as can others who knew her. She prospered because she obeyed the laws of God. She had abundance to sustain her family. We never lacked so much as many others did; for while we found nettle greens most acceptable when we first came to the valley; and while we enjoyed thistle roots, segoes and all that kind of thing, we were no worse off than thousands of others, and not so bad off as many, for we were never without corn-meal and milk or butter, to my knowledge. Then that widow had her name recorded in the book of the law of the Lord. That widow was entitled to the privileges of the house of God. No ordinance of the Gospel could be denied her, for she was obedient to the laws of God, and she would not fail in her duty when though discouraged from observing a commandment of God by one who was in an official position.

Our Hope Lies in the Recognition of a Presence
In recent weeks the many civic, moral and socio-political implications of The Murphy Report have been analysed in detail. But, as John Waters pointed out in a recent Irish Times column, «there are deeper questions pertaining to Christianity, which by definition cannot be dealt with in a public discussion in which faith has been separated from the knowledge of reality».
Our faith was handed down to us here in Ireland at great personal cost to those who chose to remain faithful over the centuries. But at some point in our history it’s as though we began to take it all for granted. Piety, moralism and sentimentality came to substitute a personal knowledge of Jesus Christ as the answer to human thirst for truth, happiness, beauty, love, justice and ultimate meaning. If faith does not become a personal adventure for every Christian, it crystallizes, becoming nothing more than a set of precepts or a sentimental adherence to lofty ideals. It is only by taking part in this adventure that one can begin to understand the irreducible nature and eternal value of their own person and begin to look at others in the same light. It is from this knowledge that a true reverence and respect for every human being becomes possible. Without this any interaction with others will be self-serving to greater or lesser extent.
Christ proposes himself as an answer to what I am. It is only by taking my humanity seriously that I can begin to live a relationship with Him. Otherwise He is just a name. John Waters, in the above quoted article, says «What is missing is not intensity of faith, but awareness of human reality. Christ is not the icon of a popular piety based on a necessary moralism or a salutary tradition. He is a living man who is here now, and whose presence defines everything. We either know this or we don’t. It is not a matter of faith but of knowledge».
We are at a defining moment in the history of the Irish Church. As long as we live in a Church in which Christian answers overshadow man’s queries we cannot move forward to begin that path of knowledge. We cannot experience Christ as a living Presence who saves my humanity now. We all need to take a look at our lives, taking our own human questions seriously and ask ourselves: «Do I “believe” in Christ or do I actually know Him? Is He a familiar presence in my everyday life?»
To quote John Waters once again: «What is assaulted in the Christian sensibility by child abuse and its cover-up is not faith in the integrity of bishops, but an instilled sense of the world revealed by Christ, from the very moments we opened our eyes, in which each of us is loved beyond imagining. The sense of betrayal therefore extends far beyond any sense of the breaching of laws, civil convention or even moral principles».
How on earth then does faith still stand any chance of success? It is because it finds a correspondence in human nature. How is it that all these betrayals and reductions of Christian faith have not gained the upper hand in us? Because the Fact that we have encountered, God made man, is absolutely irreducible. We are not able to wipe it away. Today (not in the past, but today) we stand in front of the Fact of Christ which challenges our reason and our freedom.

- Reviews In their Midst Worshipping with Children by Judith F Hall Book review by Dorothy Hughes Children & Families Ministry Facilitator, Anglican Diocese of Melbourne In their Midst Worshipping with Children by Judith F. Hall invites churches to embark on an adventure along a path that has in living memory become the road less travelled. Many churches have shaped their children’s ministry around a Sunday school model. They assume the faith education of children is best met by an education program, which removes the child wholly or partially from corporate worship. Judith Hall has written In their Midst from the premise that the faith development of children is well-served by their inclusion in the worshipping community. Moreover she has demonstrated, against popular opinion, that children will be engaged and even enriched by liturgical prayer book worship. And far from being unwanted distractions, the presence of children can enhance and even facilitate worship for adults, as the children in their midst respond in a fresh way to the presence of God. In their Midst offers resources to engage children in the key moments of liturgical worship: Gathering, Praise, Ministry of the Word, Creed, Prayers, Confession and absolution, Communion, and, Sending…
When planning or leading a children’s worship service there are many things to consider. Check out 8 tips for leading kids’ worship.

Well I'm not even entirely sure what I want to write about, but I do know that I am in desperate need of some spiritual unpacking, so I'm just gonna type, and see what evolves.
So, for those of you who don't know, Eric and I stepped out in faith on a journey that only God knows where will lead. The one thing we did know, is that it was to begin by being a part of Lifesong Church in Manchester Ct. & considering the only life we've ever known has been in SC, we had a little ways to go. So, we sold our house (to my brother and sister-in-law, how cool is that??) and packed everything we owned(including two puppies and a cat), and headed out. Let me just tell you now that “stepping out in faith” is not a simple calling.
But, none-the-less, we are here!! Praise the Lord, we are actually here!! What does that look like?? Well I’m not entirely sure. Right this minute it looks like a family of five, with three four-legged pets, and a fish named male, snugly tucked into a studio six extended stay motel room..ever so ”patiently” waiting for our next step. But you wanna know what the coolest part of this story is?? That it doesn't matter where we're living!! It doesn't matter that Eric is not gainfully employed as of yet, or that we can only see a very very small portion of the jigsaw puzzle of our life. What does matter is that God is still God through it all, and that He is at work here!!
In the, just over two weeks, that we've been here... we have met several people who seem anxious to make connections with others. We have had the opportunity to share bits of our story with these cool people, and have seen their eye's light up at the news of Lifesong Manchester & we are seeing ways to begin to invest in their lives. We have seen our, sweet 5 year old girl, draw people of all ages in with a spirit of love like no other. We have & continue to experience great leadership through our pastor Tim, & I have had the opportunity to see what a Godly wife looks like in Lynn.
This crazy, beautiful expedition so far has been good, bad, ugly, great, painful, amazing, tearful, joyful, trying, overwhelming, mountain-top high, valley low, patient-testing, fast, slow, up and down and about every other adjective that you can think of. But God is still God and He is GOOD, and that's enough for me!


God is getting ready to rend the heavens and come down! The Lord is multifaceted and we have known Him in amazing and wonderful ways. But, He is getting ready to manifest Himself in a different way to those who have been preparing for a ‘New Move of God’. We have been waiting and praying for a long time. We have held (in faith) the many prophecies and Words of this ‘time to come’. For those who have yielded to the preparation, and surrendered their lives to Him, He shall suddenly come to His Temple. And…we are His Temple! Halelujah! Amen! And it’s time to get excited, as ‘all that we’ve been waiting for’ approaches!
It’s not too late to join the team of Believers. The preparation for us is humility. The Lord desires for us to recognize our inability, our weakness, our sin nature, and know this: If we realize that we are nothing, then He can do something through us. It is all HIM! His presence…His Power….His Love…in and through the yielded Believers.
It has become more and more obvious that God wants to work through teams in this season. And the reason is also plain to see. Humility requires accountability and the need for dependence on one another to form unity. Anything I try to do on my own seems to fail lately. As soon as I form a team it brings the blessings of God. For one to stand alone is just an invitation for pride and independence to take over. We need each other more than ever if we want the full measure of God’s power. He is moving through teams. That is the End-Time vessel of power and authority.
I encourage you to find the team you belong on and get committed to love and trust one another. This is not a time to criticize the church. It’s time to love her and be a part of her restoration. Don’t look at her to find her faults. Fault is what we all have in common. We need to pray and help each other find repentance, deliverance, mercy and love, so that we can be ready to be vessels that are transparent enough for the Lord to be seen through us.
With Love and Prayers for the Will of God to find release through us.

Welcome to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of Patchogue, New York. We are a thriving, Christ-centered parish who knows Christ and makes Christ known.
We have been a worshiping community in Patchogue since 1843. Our church was built in 1883 and is one of the few remaining examples of churches built in the Stick Style.
St. Paul’s is a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island. The Episcopal Church is part of the Anglican Communion, which is a collection of 109 dioceses in 17 nations and territories. that grew out of the Church of England.
Our theology is a middle way between the Catholic and the Protestant traditions. We take scripture seriously, but not literally, and profess the doctrines of the early Church Councils. We interpret scripture and tradition for the practice of our faith today.
Corporate worship is at the heart of our life as a faith community. Our liturgical style is traditional but relaxed, which reflects the welcoming and inclusive attitude of our parishioners. We celebrate the Eucharist each Sunday and on special holy days. We join together in communion to give thanks and praise to God; and to be strengthened to continue God’s work in the world. All baptized Christians, regardless of your denomination, are welcome and encouraged to receive Holy Communion.
We take seriously our Baptismal Covenant that says we will respect the dignity of every human being.
You are welcome to worship with us, to join with us in fellowship, and in our ministries, regardless of age, economic status, marital status, nationality, race, sexual orientation or gender identity, ability or disability, and wherever you are in your spiritual journey.
We hope you will come and visit us, online or in-person, and will find our community to be a welcoming and accepting place.


Though the Abbey now stands in ruins, it was once one of England's most important religious centres full of monks who lived and prayed here. This area would have been the monks' dormitory where they slept, and behind the prison wall was the infirmary for unwell or old monks.
The men who lived in the Abbey were monks who had taken a vow to live a holy life. They had to follow all of the Abbey's rules including to remain single and to attend eight church services a day.
The monks day varied between Summer and Winter. In Winter they got up later and went to bed earlier. This is a typical day in Summer:
Reading Abbey was closed by King Henry VIII along with all other abbeys in England. They were closed because Henry left the Catholic church and created the new Church of England. Abbeys were not part of this new religion.
After the Abbey's closure in 1539 some buildings survived when they could be re-used for another purpose. However most of the Abbey was stripped of its valuable building material. Lead from the roofs was stripped off and sold and good quality stone was taken to be reused in Reading and beyond.
During the English Civil War Royalist troops occupied Reading in 1642 and used the walls of the ruined church and dormitory to create fortifications. In some places holes were smashed through the walls to give a clear line of fire - you can still see these today.
In 1644 King Charles I ordered the ruins be demolished so that they could not be used for military purposed again. The east end of the church was finally destroyed with a massive charge of gunpowder.


One sentence that stood out to me was voiced by Toni, hers is the last story in the book. She said, “Fear always comes from somewhere.” One source of her fear was the broken, chaotic home, that wasn’t really “home” but a place of neglect and abuse. Fears in her life are understandable, quite obvious.
But what about us? What about those of us who came from homes that were safe, that were loving? Where does our fear come from?
The truth is, fear is a part of everyone’s life. We’re born with it. It is fear that is given to us by the Lord as a protective device. It’s meant to draw us to Him, to fear Him above all else so that we can have courageous faith in this troubled world. And so that we learn from Him what life and love are meant to be.
However, because we live in a fallen world, held in the grip of an evil prince, our fears usually feed his lies and his hold over our lives. He grows our fears to keep us seeking control and management over our circumstances. Hebrews 2:15 reminds us that his kind of fear keeps us in slavery.
The good news is, as Toni wrote of her mom, Jesus has the power to give you “backbone.” That’s what Psalm 27:1 (JUB) says:
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
I thoroughly recommend “The Rescue.” These stories are truths that will encourage you to know that in every circumstance of life, there is hope. We may live in a world ruled by an evil prince, but we live in a universe ruled by The King to whom power and mercy belong. He is faithful and trustworthy.

The Diocese of Scranton and UNC have finalized an agreement whereby UNC will assume ownership of the former Camp St. Andrew property.
The Diocese transferred the camp property to UNC on November 2, 2016, for a nominal sum. It includes approximately 64 acres of camp property, along with facilities and equipment. UNC will continue to operate its Project Hope day camp at the site, as well as boys and girls resident camps. The camp will also get a new name: “UNC’s Camp Kelly,” in honor of Monsignor Joseph P. Kelly, who played an instrumental role at the resident camp for decades and was the founder of Project Hope at UNC more than 45 years ago.
“As strong believers in the importance of quality summer programs for youth, the Board and staff of UNC are proud to be able to continue the legacy of the former Camp St. Andrew and are thankful to the Diocese of Scranton for working with us to make that possible. We look forward to honoring past traditions through the continuation of the beloved youth camps, as well as identifying ways to expand usage of the property through other programs that benefit our community,” said Michael Hanley, chief executive officer, UNC.
In the Fall of 2015, after careful assessment of all aspects of the Camp, the Diocese announced the cessation of operations at Camp St. Andrew. At that time, Bishop Joseph C. Bambera had directed Diocesan staff to explore options that would include potential benefits for youth and young adults. The Diocese then leased the camp property to UNC during the 2016 summer camping season. UNC operated Project Hope, as well as a girls resident camp and girls and boys basketball camps there in July. During this time, the Diocese and UNC remained in discussion about a potential permanent transfer of the camp facilities.
Bishop Bambera noted that Bishop William J. Hafey established the camp in 1940 with the intention of offering recreational opportunities and experiences to foster the growth of young people.
“This transfer of ownership honors that legacy and fulfills our goal of ensuring the property will continue to be used for the benefit of young people in our area,” said Bishop Bambera. “We are grateful that the leadership, staff and volunteers of United Neighborhood Centers will carry forth this mission now and into the future.”
In the coming months, more information about camp registration and a capital campaign to conduct restoration projects at the site will be posted on UNC’s website: www.uncnepa.org.


We at Park Avenue Baptist Church would like to welcome you and your family to the AWANA experience. AWANA is a Christian club that teaches Biblical truths with an emphasis on scripture memorization. There are many great things about AWANA, but its most outstanding feature is that parents and children are encouraged to spend quality time together. The motto of AWANA is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. AWANA reaches this goal through a very structured and creative program and makes it fun for those involved. The greatest reward will not be the awards on their AWANA uniform, but the changes in their heart as they learn God’s scripture and His plan for their life.
We meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 - 8:00 following the school year calendar. Our inclement weather policy echoes that of the Searcy public schools. If school is canceled or dismissed early due to inclement weather, AWANA will be dismissed likewise. Should questions arise regarding inclement weather, you may call our church office to check our schedule of services.
The AWANA program of Park Avenue Baptist Church is not a tool for taking your children or family away from your personal church. We are offering this program to anyone who would like to come with NO obligation or pressure to change church membership. If, however, your family does not attend church regularly, we offer an open invitation for you to come see our AWANA program and the other ministries offered by Park Avenue Baptist Church. AWANA nights are very exciting and busy nights and we would love for you to see what AWANA clubs are all about. We especially want to invite you to our end of the year Closing Awards Ceremony where we recognize the clubbers for their accomplishments from the year.
If you have any questions about AWANA at Park Avenue Baptist Church, feel free to contact our church office at 501-268-8251 or you may call me (Kevin Prawl) at 501-230-6398. Also, if you would like to know more about the AWANA program ministry you can visit www.awana.org. We look forward to seeing your child grow with us in AWANA!

There has been some wonderful art done in school this year and this was our opportunity to celebrate the great work going on across the school.
Walsworth Baptist Church held an Art Competition based on the theme ‘Peace Channel’ which we felt was very challenging.
All classes discussed the subject and the children came up with some great ideas which related to the over-riding them of peace.
Every child’s piece of art was displayed in the church, along with four other schools, and we took the whole school down to the church to see the finished result.
The results were amazing and we were delighted to find out that we had come first in both key stages and 3rd in Key Stage 1. Well done to Evie, Thomas and Josephine!
