Thanksgiving at home
Where exactly is home? I pondered this question this morning as I prepared a few of my standard Thanksgiving staples such as pumpkin pie and deviled eggs.

The calling of the church: inward or outward?

I believe God gave me this experience to teach me the incredible potential for smaller churches. In this church I found a young woman in her thirties who started a business in Uzbekistan, supported herself and two Uzbek women for three years, discipled them as… Read More
