Events, vacations, birthdays, testimonies, celebrations; anything you can think of that a family has done together.
“I must be about My Father’s business” (Luke 2:49) This is March! The days are drawing longer and while the bight of winter hasn’t released its grip completely I am reminded that the rewards of the harvest belong to those with the mindset: “Let’s do it as early as possible, not as late as possible!” […]
Michael and I both had joyous celebrations this month and are thanking the Lord for another year to serve Him! Praise the Lord for his goodness and the wonderful works he has done to us. We plan to make this a year of thanking Him and declaring His works with rejoicing! (See Psalm 107:21-22)
Monday! For years we’ve always worked together to clean house early on Monday morning. Last Monday was no exception—but it seemed there was a host of “other things” to do and we wondered where to start. Many things begin on Monday. It links the rest, fellowship and vision of Sunday to the everyday work of […]
Do you remember what your response was the last time the Lord gave you a “test”? Life is full of tests. More often than not, life’s tests are untimely and we often don’t even recognize a problem as a test until it is over. But each one is allowed by God and will turn out […]

That’s right; completely sold out! Thanks to you and the many who purchased Lenspiration’s Observe 2011 calendar, I have no more left to sell. The endeavor was a success! “. . . if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified […]
Have you ever wished that you could simply but effectively communicate the difference between godly music and worldly music to others in the Church today? I was recently encouraged to read the testimony candidly shared by Adam Waller on his website recounting a time the Lord helped him to put in words this key distinction. […]
Full Moon in January It’s fun to go though pictures of the past month as I sit in my cozy little office looking outside at the blowing snow and thinking about the blizzard warnings here in Chicago. There was snow on the ground for most of January, and it appears as though there will be […]
What! A memory verse challenge? That’s right, they have that every January! Oops. We realized we were a week late but David and I decided to jump in anyway and take the challenge to memorize Hebrews 12. There are 29 verses in the chapter so we hurried to catch up. Our goal was to memorize […]
