You Have a Court Date Coming ~ Marion Droullard

A court reporter is a stenographer that makes a verbatim record of various legal proceedings, from hearings to sentencings and everything in between. The transcript they produce is the official record, the definitive proof of what was said. The reporters are called “guardians of the record,” and the transcripts they produce are certified to be true. There are laws that govern how long these records must be kept, and they are often produced to be used in future related trials or on appeals and so forth.

Strength for the Weary ~ Sandy Domelle

So often, we can let ourselves become weary because we are so focused on all that is going

on in our lives that we get sidetracked by the Devil. Some things that cause us to become

weary are health issues, financial struggles, family drama, and sometimes, it's just plain old

life getting the best of us. I believe the Devil uses this tactic on us so that we don't

accomplish all we need to do. When we are weary, we tend to complain and become a little

self-centered because of how it affects us.

Choose Joy ~ Janelle Dignan

There is so much good stuff in Philippians.  We don’t have time to study the whole book  in a short article but we see in chapter four, Paul admonishing the church to “rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say rejoice.”  Here, he gives us a glimpse of his mindset and how he had been able to “choose joy” even through imprisonment and adversity.

Peace of God - Christy Collins

Recently, I was reminded of Philippians 4:8...again. It's not like I don't know what I'm supposed to think about and avoid thinking about, but here we are...again. I have a very active imagination and often find myself imagining in great detail negative scenarios that COULD become reality but have not.

Mirror, Mirror... - Hannah Hon

Jewel’s pace quickened as their excitement could be seen from miles away. Her parents guided her into the house and up to her room. In the corner they had placed a beautiful wooden mirror, The Mirror of Authority. The gift was beautiful with its carved edges and clear, clean glass; but as she stepped in front of the mirror she was confused. What were these lines on her new mirror? Why had her parents drawn them?

Finding Strength Through the Tough Times - Peggy Adamson

Tough times can be many different things: health issues, money problems,  relationship problems, and marital problems. All of these problems can leave us overwhelmed! What do we do when we have one of  these problems? Do we try and solve them ourselves? Usually if we do, we only make them worse. We need to go to the best problem solver we have, our Lord Jesus!

He Makes All Things Beautiful in His Time - Hannah Young

Have you ever heard the phrase said before - "Timing is everything"? Well, there is a lot of truth to that statement when the timing is God's timing. We are told from the Scriptures that waiting on God's timing makes things beautiful (Ecclesiastes 3:11), while rushing ahead or lagging behind according to our timing turns things into a mess. Too early and too soon - both bring about disaster!

False Fears - Marlena Whitworth

  I remember my brother having a toy snake...you know the rubber ones that little boys like to use to scare people.  Well, my younger brother had one, and I was terrified of it.  I don't recall that he had it long, but I do recall that particular day, he had it out.  I was petrified.  I remember being uncontrollable, and standing in a corner in the living room, screaming at the top of my lungs because he had touched me with it.  My mother tried to get me to calm down, and explained there was nothing of which to be afraid. I wouldn't listen, or stop screaming!  I would not be consoled.

Is Your Brain Buzzing? - Candace Wessberg

Guess what happened all week?  Tons of flies rested on our screen door just waiting for it to open and shut.  Unless we made an exit at lightning speed, the flies just zoomed in.  One evening at bedtime, an incredible number of buzzing, black flies had accumulated inside the RV! They were on the ceiling, the furniture, and everywhere!  I was not going to sleep with them inside, so we got out the vacuum cleaner!   Using the hose, we turned the situation into a game and began counting. We sucked up almost 100 flies!!!

Balancing Your Crazy Life - D Ann Webb

THE MAIN INGREDIENT - Colossians 1:16–17, For by him were all things created, that are in  heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or  principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all  things, and by him all things consist.

The Secret Places, of our Life: Psalm 91 KJV - Angie Weaver

I am speaking of that “secret place” in our heart that we don’t even want to go to. In the song ‘The Secret Place’ we sing about that place we don’t want anyone to know about. We forget God knows us even better than we know ourselves.

LOOK UP! - Jennie Walter

Eeyore spends his life looking down and feels like the world is a dismal place. In  contrast, Tigger bounces through life seeing all the good and joy around. Eeyore  depicts the spirit of one who lives hopeless and Tigger depicts one who is hopeful.  As a Christian I have eternal hope because of Christ! By focusing on my Heavenly  Father I find the hope I so desperately need to face the storms in my life.
