Generous Heart

This is from a Bible study I've been leading. I thought it worthwhile to share. Hope you enjoy it, too From Disciple 2 -- "What should they bring? A freewill offering. God's house must be built from the generosity of the heart. If the one who set the stars in the heavens wants a tent, it must be... Sign in to see full entry.

I Must Be a Turtle

If "slow and steady wins the race," I must be on target to be a winner. I need to complete that self-assessment within the next couple of weeks. I think I'm going to make the deadline. It has been a challenge. Still working on issues from last year. Will I ever be able to say I met my goals? Sign in to see full entry.

Progress is being made

It has been a struggle as you know. But I wanted you to know I am making progress in the personal assessment. I still don't enjoy doing it, but I'm working at it (in my spare time). In my spare time, I'm also working on my novel. However, last Saturday (my Saturday off) I did a funeral, attended the... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Do It

Thanks, Sam, I made up my mind to "just do it" (the self-assessment). Problem! I filed last year's assessment on the computer and can't find it. Second challenge? I can't find this year's form - which I filed on the computer. Maybe, I'm not meant to do an assessment. I don't think I'll get by with... Sign in to see full entry.

One thing I hate to do

Every year I have the distinct privilege of reviewing my life and my "job." Following the review I get to write up an assessment. How well did I do reaching specific goals, etc. It is a process I must do, but I really hate doing it. It seems as if it is more paperwork. I understand the reason why I...

More on "Amish Grace"

I haven’t quite given up on completing the book. It isn’t that long, but my "work" gets in the way of completing it. Oh, I’m talking about two different things. I’ve been reading a book, Amish Grace and I’ve been writing a book. I would really like to complete both. In reality, I’ll finish reading... Sign in to see full entry.

It's that time of year -- stewardship campaigns. Help?

Okay, I've been given a task. Decide what "program" should we use for our church stewardship campaign. Well, the one I think would be the best costs big bucks. But this is more than a stewardship (money) program. It is designed as a spiritual growth study. I really think this is the best. I sensed... Sign in to see full entry.

Grace

I've been reading Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy, by Donald B. Kraybill, Steven M. Nolt and David L. Weaver-Zercher. It was written following the shootings at the school near Nickels Mine in Pennsylvania. One of the Amish minister's said, " Shouting down the beliefs of other people... Sign in to see full entry.
