The theme for the weekend, both for the GCN Women’s Retreat at Skycroft and services back home, was “Be Strong and Courageous.” Those words are God’s to Joshua on the threshold of entering the land of promise . . .

I hope you’ll take the time to listen to this Sunday’s message if you weren’t able to be here. I feel as strongly about that message as any. God has called and gifted all of us for a ministry that He will use . . .

“Trust in the Lord and do good.” Now there’s a one liner to take with you into the week!

It couldn’t have been more beautiful for this past Sunday’s outdoor service — and the weather was nice, too!  But the praise and worship and prayer and Word and meal together were awesome!

So, how’s the positively powerful use of words going this week?! It’s amazing what God can do with a heartfelt thank you, or an I love you, or an I’m sorry. A good word in the present climate is a powerful thing!
