I admit it. I'm a talker. Chances are, if I walk into a room, I'll be the first to say hello--even to a person I don't know.

Most of the time, my talkative personality is a positive attribute--it aids me in making friends quickly and helps others feel included in a group. But sometimes, I get so caught up in doing what comes naturally--talking--that I forget to think before I open my mouth.

Meeting Needs of Ministry Kids - Being the child of parents in ministry is unique and challenging.

As I rounded the corner of the worship center with my giggling girlfriend, I heard some of the most familiar words known to the child of a pastor. "That's the PK, you know."  I didn't bother to stop and ask whether the woman who said it meant it in a positive way.  From the disapproving look on her face (and the fact that I had been running in the church), I had a pretty good idea it was not exactly a compliment.

We may be with the Quechua Indians high in the Andes, or the impoverished outcast Dalits in India, or the hardy men and women of Central Asia. While their cultures and circumstances differ widely they have a number of things in common.

Phase 4: This is much easier than I thought it would be
In the first weeks of relocating novelty ruled the day. Every time we got in the car we experienced a mini-adventure. (And if I was the one driving, the adventure could be not so little. And for the record, it IS possible to get lost even using a GPS. But, I digress).

Having enjoyed 29 years of a rich spiritual heritage at Sovereign Grace Church in Joppa, MD, and also the blessing of living within five minutes of every extended family member on both sides of the family; my husband, four children and I left it all in the fall 2007 to go to Akron, OH where my husband now serves as the senior pastor of Covenant of Grace Church. My name is Laurie Reyes and this is my relocation story - the good, the bad, and yes, of course, the ugly.

Being open and honest in marriage isn't always easy.

"Would you stop goofing around, Bill? Every time I bring up a serious issue, you think it's a big joke."
Dr._Tara_Jenkins_archive.jpgI can remember when everyone wanted a gold rope chain necklace to wear around their necks. Some people focused on how big the width of the rope was. Others focused on the length of the rope.

Today's Truth: 
"You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:12,13 NIV).

Friend To Friend:
You are the salt of the earth. Have you ever tasted potatoes without salt added? They are bland, blasé, and blah. Likewise, a world without Christians would be very unappealing.
margaret-mitchell.jpgTenacity means to cling to a belief without doubting.  It is a set kind of faith, a determination that doesn't waver.  It takes a lot of tenacity to believe for a healing touch when we are sick, when our physical bodies suggest hopelessness, when we have waited a long time.

"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day... all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God."
Deuteronomy 28: 1, 2 (King James Version)
