Manager’s Memo 3-4-22

Telling yourself the truth is powerful. It’s not something someone says to us that upsets us, its what we tell ourselves about what someone said, that upsets us. But how can we do this with whats happening overseas? Senseless violence and destruction of property. People hungry, thirsty, without a bathroom. It’s these times that it’s ok to have some righteous anger, but it’s usually not directed co ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 2-24-22

It’s almost that time of year, spring gardening, bush trimming and lawn mowing. Last year my husband Jerrod and I built a raised garden out of Alberton refrigerator pallets (wouldn’t recommend that) but then couldn’t get dirt delivered till the fall so we are looking forward to having a REAL garden this spring. When you grow anything, there is pruning involved. One thing I prune a lot is my rose b ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 2-7-22

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, remember God, and He will direct your paths … sounds beautiful. When you’re not going thru something. When the rubber meets the road on your journey. You get unexpected news, someone breathes their last, car accidents, diagnosis. When your heart can’t take anymore, this verse comes to life and starts be ... Read More

Manager’s Memo: 1-25-22

If you’re struggling with anxiety now or have in the past, I want you to know you are NOT alone and … there’s hope it will pass. I don’t know how your December was, but mine wasn’t great. Physical anxiety, panic attacks and inability to stop it all while trying to hide it from people, left me almost paralyzed some days. I admit this because I want to give you hope… that it does all end. Here ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 1-14-22

It may feel like you are sitting still right now, but you are not. You are on a planet that is rotating on its axis at 1,000 miles per hour. Like clockwork, it makes one full revolution every 24 hours. And if that isn’t amazing enough, planet Earth is moving around the sun at speeds approaching 67K mph! so the next time you feel like you’ve had an unproductive day, remind yourself that you did tra ...

Manager’s Memo 1-3-22

As you start out your new year, I’d like us to keep something in mind. Subtly. I’m not talking about sneaking around. I’m talking about the way things creep into our lives. It’s like a growing plant or child, all the sudden, they’re taller. It’s the same with our thoughts and habits. Nobody just jumps into an extramarital affair right away, it starts subtly. More and more screen time is usually a ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 12-27-21

There are 3 things you can count on in the coming year. They are NOT new years resolutions you can make or something you can buy. As Paul closes his first letter to the Corinthians, he reminds them that all the gifts they’ve received are worthless without the wrapping of love. He reminds them what love is and what love is not; reminds them even on their best days, they were childish, because they ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 12-16-21

Excuse me ma’am, where’s the line to see Jesus? A little boy asked a lady that was in line to see Santa Clause. He continued “Is Jesus here at the store? Santa Clause brought me presents but Christ gave His life for me?” She looked away and pondering this for a moment before she responded, but never got to. The boy disappeared. Christmas, the celebration of Emmanuel, God taking the form of man, le ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 11-22-21

Your God IS GOOD. David talks about how He feels about you in Psalm 100. It is He who made us and we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever. Are you hearin’ it? You are His. Everything you have, is His. We’re just taking care of it for Him. As w ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 11-11-21

Maybe the secret sauce of life isn’t being strong. Maybe it’s being there for each other because, come on. Who really has it all together these days? This is a reminder to stop telling yourself or someone else to “be strong”. How about instead “be free”, free to be a mess one day and a warrior the next? It’s ok to be all over the place. We’re not robots. God created some of us with more emotions t ... Read More
