When I was in high school, our church youth group planned an annual retreat and invited high school age students from the churches in our conference. It was a weekend event with a speaker, planned games/activities, food and fun. I loved it.
Out of the Chaos
Inspiration for living outside of the chaos.
Last week in a visit to the kinesiologist, he attached a bead to the bottom of my foot with athletic tape. It is small. About 1/4 inch round. But it hurts. I cannot walk in my usual way without it digging into my foot. So, I have to adjust the way I walk. And that’s …
Read: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 How do I even begin to love others? A significant part of that is receiving God’s love for you. In the verses above, we read exactly how God feels about you and how he responds to you. Read it again. What part of God’s love for you do you need to …

By traditional, I mean the church had a Sunday School hour for both children and adults followed by a corporate service with preaching and music. The Sunday School classes for adults were also divided by gender and age. In …
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 Years ago Dave and I were involved in a group of young married couples at our church. One evening the group decided to visit the older folks from church and sing with them. Now, I am not a song leader. I can sing, but I don’t lead singing. But for whatever …
My decision to see a kinesiologist came after some friends observed me getting off a bar height chair at a restaurant to go to the ladies room. When I returned to the table, they asked me what in the world was wrong. I explained my right leg was giving me trouble, specifically my hip, and …
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 I have been seeing a kinesiologist for a little over a month. In simplest terms, his job is to observe how my body moves to identify problem areas.
