True & very short story about a guy I can’t get out of my head. ‘I have it. You need it.’ It was that simple to him.” ~Lynne Hybels   #BeTheGIFT #TheBrokenWay

…. so our son Levi flew over the farm — and our youth pastor wrote a song — and this is the kinda glory that happened




[ Print’s FREE here: ]


Do not be afraid. Do not give up. Do not worry.

Take courage. Take heart. Take joy.

Be grateful. Be brave.

Believe. Beloved. Trust. God.

When we feel how His goodness overtakes us, nothing can overwhelm us.

Just that today: Don’t simply follow your heart — but follow a Light so lovely that it will ignite your heart.

For when God has your heart — your times are safe in God’s hands.

Your plans today don’t need to happen fast — because you are held with a steadfast love.

And you have a Lover who dismantles the crushing gears of time and binds the lashing hands of the clock and He whispers: You can feel numb but you are still held.


[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]


Dare to fully live!



That’s all for this weekend, friends.


Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.


Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again


Share Whatever Is Good.
